Xabi Alonso has achieved great things at Bayer Leverkusen. I see him as the number one candidate for Real Madrid. However, he will be in a different atmosphere at Real Madrid than at Bayer Leverkusen. I think he can be successful again, but this time things won't be as easy as before. In his career as a footballer, he faced tough tests under pressure, but I don't think his career as a manager has faced this yet...
If next season Xabi Alonso really becomes the coach of Real Madrid, I am sure he will change Real Madrid into a much better team than this season because he himself was once a Real Madrid player and also experienced more things when he was still an active player at Real Madrid. And now it is time for Xabi Alonso to prove that he also has the mentality and tactics to coach a team in a more successful direction than the previous coach. And I hope that can come true for Real Madrid because the Real Madrid team must also focus on buying better players besides the team coach for next season.
