I wonder why it looks like people are doubting the capacity of Xavi Alonso when he has proven that he will make a successful manager in the long run with the way he confidently led the Bayer guys to success. I like men with steeze, a stlye that Alonso has been able to prove lately. All I can send him is my prayers and Goodwill over a successful outcome by the next season but not to doubt his capacity or see him as an opportunist. He actually worked for the success he got and deserves the accolades.
Honestly, I personally don't doubt Xabi Alonso's capacity. As we know, Alonso has managed Leverkusen for two seasons. even though he started his career with Leverkusen, Alonso entered in the middle of the season. but he was able to prove it, at that time Leverkusen was in the red zone but Alonso was able to bring his team to finish in sixth place in the Bundesliga. in his second season, Alonso proved his capacity to bring Leverkusen to the top by breaking Bayern Munich's dominance so far. what's unique is that Leverkusen didn't even experience defeat, although sometimes in some matches they actually won because they were lucky. however, this is normal, but overall Leverkusen played very well.
Next season, Alonso will definitely target defending the League title they won previously. with the player material they have, plus maybe some newcomers brought to the BayArena, Leverkusen seems ready to face new competition. apart from that, Alonso will also use the Champions League as a benchmark for his current squad. what is certain is that the Leverkusen players and Xabi Alonso as manager will do their job to the best of their ability. so, the question is, can Alonso and his squad remain consistent like the previous season. this is not a capacity issue, but rather performance consistency. Moreover, both Bayern Munich and their new coach. or several other teams with potential, will be an obstacle for Leverkusen because they both want to be the best in this competition. so, to be sure, there is no other choice but to wait for the Bundesliga to roll out.
