Is there secret affair that Xabi Alonso is having with Bayer Leverkusen we are not aware of? If no, then why is has the young and very impressive Spanish manager decided to remain at the club despite all the juicy offers he's getting from other top European clubs. After his record-breaking campaign last season with the reigning German champions, I was expecting Alonso to live the club but surprisingly he decided to stay back and now that he's probably not going defend the title he won last season, he still wants to remain at the club
In some statements given by Xabi when he extended his contract at Leverkusen he said that indeed he would still be at Leverkusen because he still thought this was the right club for him even though he did not deny many offers from several clubs including big clubs given but he realized that his capacity would be too fast if he went directly to a bigger club so he decided to stay.
Actually for me it was a wise decision because after all he is still one of the young and new coaches in the world of coaching. Not a few new coaches who have good momentum fail when they are at a new club like we can take an example for Graham Potter when he went to Chelsea or Motta at Juventus this season.
Xabi minimizes that because he clearly considers rather than trying at a big club but failing and ending up being fired it would be better to wait a little longer to establish himself as a competent coach at the club he has built.
