Leverkusen was just a mediocre team that was never considered in the competition for the title before Xabi Alonso arrived, now what has happened, he has succeeded in turning Leverkusen into a big team that is very difficult to beat, what's great is that he did all that in just a very short time. Now Leverkusen has become a threat to Bayern Munich in the title race, so far only Dortmund has always provided competition to Munich, but they have never succeeded in breaking Munich dominance.
Xabi Alonso decision to stay with Leverkusen is very good for his future and also the team he manages. Leverkusen has just been able to run fast after receiving support from Xabi Alonso, his departure will have a negative impact on Leverkusen future development. Club management must give Xabi Alonso what he wants to make it easier for him to carry out his duties as a coach, maybe he will try to bring in several new players to increase the team's strength so that it can compete in the Champions League next season.
The club's management will do more to bring in positive results. The UEFA Champions League is their next destination and I hoped they're able to do well and bring in good results as expected. Bayer Leverkusen are merely nothing compared to other Bundesliga clubs this season. They've been exceptional incredible and with unbeaten run in 50 games played this season. Xabi Alonso is regarded to be the best coach for the team and the board didn't regret appointing him to be headcoach.
How can the management regret appointing the coach who brought such success? Even if you ask the president of Bayer Leverkusen, I think he will not say that their goal at the beginning of the year is the championship. They played much, much more than expectations this year. They are having a great season in all respects. They are almost like in a dream. Everyone is already talking about what they will do next year. They raised the expectation bar to the moon.
