I don't think Xabi Alonso's proposed departure from Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season is certain as the young Spanish manager is yet to publicly notify everyone about his next move
If Xabi Alonso leaves Bayer Leverkusen, then this will definitely be Bayer Leverkusen's final journey to become champions in the Bundesliga because the chance of winning will not happen a second time with a different coach. Xabi Alonso now knows the strengths and weaknesses of every player that Leverkusen has, so this coach is able to provide the right position for his players to bring victory. It is not certain that a new coach will be able to do what Xabi Alonso did.
I get the concern over Alonso leaving Leverkusen. A strategist and winner, he knows his team well. Large asset. But without him, no championship hopes? Honestly, thats weak reasoning. Football is full with teams that rise from the ashes and find the right coach for skill and synergy. Leverkusen's great club and players will attract elite talent. Certainly a setback, but no knockout punch.
Im not downplaying Alonso's greatness. Football success takes more than one player, even a fantastic one. Players are pros, club has resources. Honestly, saying they cant thrive without him is unfair. Sometimes a change in perspective elevates a team. Could benefit Leverkusen. Listen, I believe in winning and this club's potential.
