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.

Leverkusen is a beast with Xabi Alonso in this season and this team is still unbeaten which is amazing for any team to have this record. Their performance in the Bundesliga even put Bayern Munich to be under pressure to get closer to Leverkusen while couldn't be done that so far. Xabi Alonso was helping this team a lot and due to his good performance, they are going to probably finish this season by achieving the Bundesliga title.
This made some teams including Bayern Munich to think about hiring Xabi Alonso for the next season because they didn't get the results they wanted to get with Tuchel and now Tuchel is about to leave the team. However Xabi Alonso won't be a cheap option for them and Leverkusen said many times that they won't give their coach anyway, but now even Uli Hoeneß the honorary president of Bayern Munich confirmed that they want to have Xabi Alonso in their team
