I find it a bit odd that people want Alonso to consistently produce good results (winning trophies) before he can be called a good coach. I mean, if his achievement with Leverkusen is just "lucky", then how would you judge his competitors? I guess every manager is terrible nowadays, which means a club should pick their coach randomly if that is the case. No point analyzing a coach's profile as long as they can get a bit lucky once in a while. He's probably not the next Guardiola, he won't have as much leeway with buying players, and he doesn't have to be one. Then again I guess he doesn't care what people think of him, especially if the club and the fans are happy with him.
For me, Xabi Alonso actually brought Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga title last season, it was not luck, but his consistency with the team made him the most successful coach in the Bundesliga, making Leverkusen an undefeated team for one season, many people may doubt his abilities next season. , but whatever if in the end he succeeds in bringing Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga title for the second time next season, I'm sure that will dispel everyone's doubts about his abilities
I never try to underestimate Xabi Alonso's ability because it is a tough job as a coach in a team that is not full of expensive and popular players, but this is where Xabi Alonso's ability is with the players currently in the main squad, especially being able to make Leverkusen champions. In the Bundesliga last season, we all probably saw his decision to continue staying at Leverkusen and not be tempted by the money to move to Munich or other possible strong teams. UCL next season, of course they will also feel the competition in the title race and it is important for them to be able to break other records next season.
