Leverkusen is very lucky because they have succeeded in appointing a coach who can provide something extraordinary to the club. Xabi is one of the most successful coaching appointments in my opinion for Leverkusen. The reason is that he also lifted the club's performance from a situation that was not good. At the beginning of his arrival, Leverkusen was a club that had to struggle at the bottom of the table, and his arrival saved and improved their performance until they were able to finish in the best ranking.

In his second season with Leverkusen he was able to immediately provide something extraordinary by winning the Bundesliga title, which we know is a very difficult thing to do, because Bayern Munich's dominance is felt in the Bundesliga, so this is history where they managed to break that record. listed by Bayern Munich for more than a decade. Leverkusen was also very lucky when Xabi decided to stay, even though an offer came to him and it was from a big club too.

Comparing Kompany to Xabi Alonso, who led Bayer Leverkusen to Bundesliga glory in his first season as a coach, showcases the growing trend of European clubs seeking out young coaches. Regardless of their differing achievements this season, both coaches represent a shift in the coaching landscape, where clubs are willing to take calculated risks on young talent. Kompany's upcoming debut season with a top club like Bayern Munich gives a significant opportunity for him to display his coaching abilities on a high stage, especially given the caliber of players at his disposal.

As Bayern Munich seek to maintain their competitive nature in European football, their decision to appoint Kompany signifies a willingness to embrace fresh and innovative coaching approaches. Kompany's blend of experience as a former elite player and his budding coaching career puts him as an intriguing prospect for Bayern. While there are imminent challenges in transitioning from coaching a smaller club to a European powerhouse like Bayern, Kompany's appointment reflects a trend in football where clubs seek coaches who can manage technicality with a different view, regardless of age or coaching level.

Alonso has very much been impressive in his performances for Leverkusen. He's been watched and observed and in all his games, he's proven to present an outstanding and formidable team. He's just new in the business but yet still has set up a formidable team. I really won't be surprised if he's beckoned up on by bigger clubs to show his abilities. He's proven to be worthy to handle well any team presented to him and definitely I believe he can do well if another team is put in his care. Maybe his strategies work well for him and can still work well with another team. With Leverkusen, he's done well and he's working towards an aim for the club. He's been watched closely to see how well he'd be able to keep up with the games for the team and see how well he can uphold against their biggest threat in the Bundesliga.
