If we talk about experience, then Xabi is not a coach who falls into the category of very experienced coaches, he is a new young coach who has not been in a coaching career for long, but what he can show with Leverkusen shows that he is an experienced coach, of course that is good thing for him.
I think his career as a player or his experience as a player will also really help his decision in implementing strategy, because he will definitely learn a lot from the coach who used to be his coach. Moreover, he was also in a big team when he was still a player, so those memories are still there and then he collaborates them with the strategy he has.
He also has a good mentality, because he plays at Real Madrid, which is a team that has a very good mentality, so I think that has a big influence on him. I think he will become one of the famous coaches in the future, because now he can show that.

If assessed in terms of experience, Xabi Alonso is still far behind other coaches because he has just started his career as a coach, but in terms of tactics, he is much more reliable. However, Leverkusen defeat in the final made them have to admit the greatness of Atalanta under Gasperini guidance and at the same time they also learned a valuable lesson. Xabi Alonso will always remember this defeat, he has learned many things from his failure to lead Leverkusen to win the Europa League.

Next season will be a new chapter for Alonso, he will lead Leverkusen in the Champions League, which is at a higher level than the Europa League. Squad depth must always be maintained so that it can provide competition with other elite clubs. His failure in the Europa League will be the beginning of his future success, he is still young and still has a lot of time to continue learning from the experiences he has gone through.

True, it will be a very valuable experience for Xabi Alonso when he has to accept defeat from the Serie A team, Atalanta, and makes him fail to become European League champion, as well as making him fail to win the treble winner this season. He will learn a lot from that defeat, because I believe he is a coach who is willing to learn from his failures. But on the other hand, that doesn't make his statistics bad for this full season.
Yes, next season will be a tougher challenge for him, because he will be at the highest level in European football, namely by being in the Champions League. He has to prove that he can compete there. And to be honest, I'm also really looking forward to that, because in the Champions League he will have a big chance to meet a team that is even greater than the team they faced this season. He has to prepare everything so that Leverkusen can have a lot to say in the Champions League next season.
