But you forget that the previous year Bayer Leverkusen reached the Europa League final, yes Xabi Alonso has little experience as a coach in the Champions League, but you have to take into account that Bayer Leverkusen do not have the champions that Real Madrid have in their squad.
I had however heard of Real Madrid's interest in Cesc Fabregas as the next coach of the blancos
Some might see Xabi Alonso as incapable to manage Real Madrid team because of his inexperience but I don't think so, I see a young coach with a bright future that can achieve a lot in football. Real Madrid might be a big a team but it doesn't mean they are too big for him to handle.
He have led Leverkusen to finals in a few years spent and had turned the team to a very solid team in the Bundesliga, if he can do that to Leverkusen with average players imagine what he'd do with Real Madrid full of stars. I don't doubt him at all, I am sure he can transform the team back to winning ways.
