IMO, I'm not sure if Xabi will leave Leverkusen after successfully winning titles in the Bundesliga or in other competitions such as the European league.
usually when a coach achieves success in one of the popular teams, the coach will usually stay for a few more seasons to try to bring Leverkusen to a higher level and win the UCL title, breaking new history and this is often done by other reliable coaches.
from here I have the idea that Leverkusen management will definitely keep Xabi to stay with Leverkusen for the next season or maybe until his contract is finished.
but if after this season ends and Xabi decides to leave Leverkusen, it would be a very bad decision and I'm not sure if he can find success in a team from another league.

I understand what you are talking about. For me, there is nothing wrong with Xabi Alonso coaching Bayern Munich next season because Bayern Munich and Bayern Leverkusen are not on the same level. Xabi Alonso's good performance at Bayern Leverkusen is for him to get a bigger contract from big clubs, which is already working out for him.

Looking at some media reports at the moment it seems that Kane is enough to be optimistic because it is rumored that he has started to return to training and it is possible to be able to play again for the Bayern squad in the near future.
Of course this will provide more things for Bayern because after all Bayern's presence in the squad will be very important, it's just that I emphasize again in this case only Kane is not enough for Bayern to be better.

Indeed, their attack line will be greatly helped by Kane's goal scoring instinct but sometimes it is a little complicated if a good attack line is not accompanied by a defense that is not too good.
Moreover, now some of their players may not be able to play in the defense sector such as Neuer, who must be absent for some time, making Bayern's conditions a little more difficult in defense.

After having first title in this season now it's time for the Xabi Alonso to stay here at this club and prove he can do this again which will surely bring good reputation for him and surely if he will be able to bring another success then things can go for him to replace Carlos Ancelotti at the Real Madrid which is his next destination just after winning leaving club is surely never been good decision with now things could be more competitive with he can take good experience in Champions League as well even we all know Bundesliga has never been tough like we have Premier League or La Liga but still this all is going to be had good for his long run future in coaching field.

Liverpool is also looking for him which is also challenging, but he needs to take his time and then decide whether he wants to join the toughest league like Premier League or going to stay here in this current league with now having good chance for Champions League and things surely could be not easy, but surely it's going to be one of the best time for starting new career.

Dortmund is definitely a strong opponent for Bayern Munich. However, Bayern Munich's performance in head-to-head matches against Dortmund is quite good. However, the Dortmund team is one of the most renowned teams in the Bundesliga. There is no way to underestimate this team. Bayern Munich players are likely to lose points if they are not alert in this match.

However, as we have seen the performance of Bayern Munich in the last three matches, it can be assumed that the players of Munich will be able to perform well against Dortmund. We have seen great performances from Munich's attacking players in the last three matches. If this consistency is maintained, Munich will easily win against Dortmund.

That is great news. Kane is a pure striker and it seems that Munich does not have another striker with Kane's qualities. It's true as you say that Munich really needs Kane to make a difference. This is the same as PSG with Mbappe. Munich is not the favorite to win the UCL this season because of their performance in the Bundesliga. But of course Munich has a target to win every UCL match and be able to advance to the final. I think Munich will win the match. Dortmund have performed well in the last few games in the League but I think they have a bad history when facing Munich.

Yes. In March 25, Bayern Munich officially announced Harry Kane and Raphael Guerreiro have trained again. However, they were training individually, it seems they are still in a process of recovery. Since there is still enough time to recover, we can expect that these players can be ready for the match against Dortmund. However, it depends on the progress of the recovery, I think Tuchel won't force them if they are not 100% fit. Bayern Munich still has a more important match in UCL, they will play against Arsenal in April 10. I'm sure Tuchel will focus in UCL matches over the Bundesliga match. In Bundesliga, it is likely to finish as a runner up, it will be difficult to catch Bayer Leverkusen.

I think Harry Kane will be ready for the UCL match. He won't be forced to play against Dortmund. Even if Harry Kane is ready for the match against Dortmund, he seems to not play full-time. Sure, UCL match is more important, they need to win Leg 1 if they want to have a bigger chance to qualify for the next round.

Bayern Munich needs Harry Kane as much as possible in the upcoming Champions League quarterfinal match because they must maintain their guard at all costs to defeat Arsenal. Arsenal is currently performing exceptionally well in the English league and the Champions League, so Bayern Munich will need to put in a considerable effort to emerge victorious.

The team must bring together all their top players, train them rigorously, and prepare thoroughly for the match. In the event that Harry Kane remains absent, the coach has a responsibility to unite the team and ensure they are well-prepared to play effectively without him. It’s crucial to fill any gaps left by his absence and not allow vulnerabilities to arise. Bayern Munich needs to optimize their strategy to secure a win in the upcoming Champions League match.

That is very encouraging news to hear, it would be better for Tuchel to save Kane for the match against Arsenal in the Champions League, rather than playing him in the match against Dortmund. There is nothing to worry about in the Bundesliga anymore, you could say that Bayern will have a very big chance of finishing in runnerup position.

In the first half of the season, Tuchel fleet was able to slaughter Dortmund with a landslide score, without Kane in the lineup I think they will be able to do it again. Moreover, the match will be held at the Allianz Arena, where it is quite difficult for any team to beat Bayern at their own home. Dortmund performance this season is very much down from last season, and it is very likely that they will be knocked out of the top four of the standings next week.

Tuchel has sufficient rotation options to overcome every remaining match in the Bundesliga, Tuchel just needs to focus and maximize the potential of his fleet in the Champions League. A major overhaul will occur within Bayern if they fail to win any trophies this season, and what is clear is that they will part ways with Tuchel next season.

It's actually very possible to move to Bayern Munich but then I don't think Xabi would want to move there just like that, he's very likely to move away from Germany probably to England than he would be in Germany and Coach Munich a d I think personally it wouldn't be a very good move if he's actually moving to Munich in the bundesliga as that wouldn't be healthy for his career both in Germany and generally.

Although england too still doesn't appear like a perfect deal for me because I feel these are two different leagues with different levels of competition so it's very possible that he will be facing different levels of challenge across these two leagues which I don't think same tactical approach would help him achieve the same results and he hasn't really played much against england teams as a coach with Leverkusen so it will be better he stays back one more season in Germany at Leverkusen and get to improve his form and get a much better reputations around Germany then he can move subsequent season but I think now is looking too early.

He's just getting into the coaching career and he needs more of development of his career and not him already moving around different league already because he was able to achieve a certain level of success already at the early stage of his career but then he knows which will be best for him but I really do doubt if he's going to be able to get same results he got in the German league in the English league immediately.

This is a good news for Bayern Munich fans and a bad news to Dortmund and Arsenal fans, because he is the only player that will give Arsenal tension up front even though there are other wingers like Sane, Gnabray, and others that are good and dangerous, Kane is a striker that knows how to score Arsenal all the times because he have good goal to against Arsenal in his time while playing for Tottenham.

Dortmund on the other hand will not be happy with his return because they have played several matches against Bayern Munich without victory, and they are battling to make it to Champions League next season that is why they wanted to win every match they will be playing from now till the end of the season if they wants to overtake Stuttgart that has already given them six points gap. They know the quality of Bayern even without a prolific striker, talk less of now that they have Kane that is scoring goals for fun. I think Dortmund needs to be very serious this time because Bayern Munich don’t also wants to lose any match.

Although Bayern Munich suffer from injuries affecting known players, yet they have better odds than Borussia Dortmund which lacks Sabitzer due to suspension and Bensebaini who suffers from an injury.
In addition Bayern Munich are playing home and they inflicted many goals in the latest matches so Dortmund should try to make much pression on them and pick a point at least..

This is exactly what he’s going to be facing there. I also prefer he remains in Bayern Leverkusen for another season, maybe, just maybe he can still pull out same performance for the second time and if he doesn’t he’ll still be appreciated for the season he did excellently well and gave their team a trophy. If only he knows the pressure he’ll be facing when he joins a big club, he would have waited and not rush to join a new team now. I know as a fast rising coach, every too team will have eyes on you and will lure you with sweet offers to join them, some are not worth joining now while some needs to be looked into and reexamined before taking your final verdicts of either joining them or not. This was the same thing that happened to Jose Mourinho at Roma, he could no more deliver as expected in the first season, so they just had to terminate his contract and get a new one. I know Xabi Alonso will do great in any big team he joins now, but I don’t wish for him to be looked down on if he fails to deliver as usual like he’s doing now.

In my opinion, Leverkusen's coach should accept the job of being Bayern's coach if Bayern really makes him an offer. all coaches must not be naive and I am sure that the Leverkusen coach knows very well that if he manages to win the Bundesliga then there are players who will accept jobs in other clubs that pay more wages and with that the team will not be the same next season which he will make Leverkusen lose points and then they will start to hate the coach, they will blame him and they will forget that it was thanks to him that Leverkusen became champions. people have been doing this for years. That's why it's wiser for the Leverkusen coach to leave that team if they become champions because that way he will leave as a hero and not as a guy who was fired for bad results

for this round I chose to put leverkusen and leipzig and I also put VfB Stuttgart in my multibet bet, I think that the three teams will play against opponents weaker than them so it's a good chance for the three teams not to waste a point and get come out of this game with victory, but I confess that I am a little worried about VfB Stuttgart who could still lose points and if that happens I will lose my multibet bet. Anyway, I've already made my bet

Bayer 04 Leverkusen - TSG 1899 Hoffenheim

RB Leipzig - 1. FSV Mainz 05

VfB Stuttgart - 1. FC Heidenheim 1846




Talking a little about each of the 3 games, I would say that Leverkusen will play against an opponent who in the last 5 games had only 2 victories and is coming from a sequence of 2 consecutive defeats. despite the opponent being a team that is in position number 8 in the table, the fact that they haven't done well in the last 5 games made me bet on Leverkusen to win this game. In the case of the Leipzig game, I also followed the same reasoning, in which I saw that Leipizg's opponent in the last 5 games only had 2 victories and is fighting to get out of the relegation zone, while in the last games Leipzig has been a team that they have scored a lot of goals, conceded few goals and managed to win games. and finally the VfB Stuttgart game, which also followed the same reasoning, in which I saw that their opponent in the last 5 games was unable to win in any game, they are coming from a sequence of 5 games without a victory, while VfB Stuttgart has been a team that in the last few games had no defeat

According to the latest news from this noon, Harry Kane attended the team's training this morning. So the injury does not seem to be much serious as expected.  It is expected that he will miss the next to matches if it will not get worse. So he will he available for the Champions League games what is important for Bayern. It is not that worse that he is going to miss some Bundesliga games since Bayern has alternatives like Chupo-Moteng or Tel or even Sane.

He is the trump card for them for sure and especially with respect to the Champions League games, I think having Kane in the team makes a huge difference when they play in England. Kane must be motivated beyond imagination when he comes back to one of the places he is so accustomed to and now gets the chance to smash any Arsenal dreams once again. This would be a huge loss for Bayern if he wasn't able to play that game.

In the Bundesliga maybe Bayern is still hoping for this 1% miracle that Leverkusen plays unusually badly from now on, but chances are very close to zero that they are about to go through a prolonged streak of draws and losses.

Kane's injury will certainly make Bayern Munich very hard hit and every match will not be easy for Bayern Munich in my opinion (yes even though it is said to be not serious, but just in case it is much better), however the spearhead of the attack is very much needed, Hopefully Harry Kane is not so serious in his injury so that not many matches are missed, as we know that week 27 Bayern Munich will meet with Dortmund which is quite competitive and has good improvements in its last match, Tuchel will be very faced with a nightmare and will be further away from the top of the Bundes league.

Moreover, the champion league which is quite competitive will be very unfortunate if Kane really can't take part in the match, Arsenal is the current leader of the English Premier League which is quite consistent and will be the toughest opponent at this time in the Champion league, I really really doubt Bayern Munich's situation is like this, hopefully Harry Kane remains sharp and can continue to assist Bayern Munich, even though victory looks very difficult but at least as much as possible out of that ability feels much better.

Today in the news they write that Kane has returned to training in the general group, and this means that he will be ready to play for the game with Dortmund. Apparently the doctors of Bayern FC quickly dealt with the damage he received (and it turned out to be not serious).
If he had dropped out for the Champions League games, it could have been a disaster for Bayern. Even with him, they were not the favorites in this pair, and without him they would have literally no trump card.

Well, that's what I'm worried about and maybe Gladbach will be aggressive again in this match. It is possible that Gladbach will win with a landslide score because they often do it. Freiburg is certainly aware that the home team's superiority will thwart their plans to steal points and here Gladbach will try their best so that Freiburg cannot do that.

If we refer to the first meeting at the beginning of this season, of course we agree that there will be a lot of goals scored and it is possible that there could be more than 3 goals. So either option seems reasonable, just don't bet on under goals. What's interesting is that if Freiburg manages to score first, it will encourage Gladbach to immediately turn things around and I hope that moment will come.

Actually, Xabi Alonso's contract at Leverkusen still runs until 2026, right? However, because of his brilliance in bringing Leverkusen this far, there are several rumors that he is being looked at by several big clubs in other leagues. And especially when Real Madrid almost lost Ancelotti, there were even serious discussions. However, it failed because Ancelotti still stayed at Real Madrid.

And this time, it seems, Leverkusen is quite confident that Alonso will stay at Leverkusen next season. Because the struggle is still quite long, especially next season, Alonso and the squad will face a match that will certainly be very challenging in the UCL. So, if Xabi leaves Leverkusen, I don't know what will happen to Leverkusen's future performance in the UCL. But it does look like he will stay at Leverkusne next season.

In fact, Leverkusen said this:
