Alonso has made it official that he will be staying at Leverkusen despite interest from Liverpool and Bayern Munich this summer. The coach is on track to secure the Bundesliga title with Leverkusen as they hold a 13-point lead over Bayern at the top of the German table.
Liverpool and Bayern will now have to look elsewhere for their next manager as Roberto De Zerbi and Julian Nagelsmann are being considered as potential options. Alonso’s decision to reject offers from these top clubs has been criticized by many, including former Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole and Keys on beIN Sports.
Despite never winning the Bundesliga, Leverkusen is having a remarkable season under Alonso, matching their club record from over two decades ago. With 73 points already secured, Leverkusen looks poised to finally claim the league title and end Bayern’s reign of 11 consecutive championships.
Alonso, at just 42, is proving himself as a promising manager and could attract attention from other elite clubs in Europe if he continues to excel with Leverkusen. Managing his team in the Champions League next season will be a great opportunity for him to showcase his talent on a bigger stage.
