Xabi Alonso has tried to win the final match of Europa league. They already performed well during the season, but it was unlucky that they couldn't play with their best level in the final match. I think Xabi Alonso still has a lack experience to face the final match as a manager. If he already has enough experience, he may win the match against Atalanta. Sure he has the experience in the final but it was when Xabi as a player. It is a different experience, Xabi needs an experience for coach career.
Xabi Alonso has another chance to finish the season with unbeaten record again next season. Although it seems will be so difficult but it is not impossible. But what I want to see is Xabi Alonso wins the first international trophy as a manager. Xavi will try a new experience in UCL, Leverkusen will play in UCL for the next season.
However, Xabi Alonso has a great record as a young manager so far.
I also think Xabi Alonso lack of experience as manager hurt his team in Europa League final. They had great season but couldn't win final game. Alonso knows what it's like to play in big games but managing is different. He needs more experience to make good decisions and motivate his players when it matters most. But I think he will learn from this and do better next time. Next season Leverkusen has chance to go far in Champions League and Alonso can show what he can do on biggest stage. Winning trophy as manager would be amazing, and I think he can do it. Alonso is a young manager with a lot of potential, and I'm excited to see how he grows and succeeds in the future.
It is normal for you to make such comments because Leverkusen was defeated in the UEL final, but if they had won, different comments would have been made. Leverkusen had a great season and suffered only 1 defeat in all matches. The Leverkusen coach is not inexperienced. It means he has old experience. He achieved great success in his first season. I hope next season will be better for Xabi, but I don't think it will be better than this one.
Xabi Alonso has only had two so far. Real Sociedad B team and Leverkusen team. So considering Xabi's experience as a coach, Xabi is not very experienced. But there is no doubt that Xabi Alonso is very talented. He can spot the opponent's weaknesses, and tailor his match strategy accordingly. At the same time, Xabi is able to increase the confidence of the squad players. Because of these reasons, although Leverkusen is a mediocre team, Leverkusen has shown great dominance this season.
We considered the Leverkusen team to be the favorite in the Europa League final. But unfortunately Leverkusen lost the match 3-0. I thought I would watch Leverkusen vs Madrid in the UEFA super cup final. But this is no longer possible.
