Xabi Alonso announces he will remain at Bayer Leverkusen next season after speculation linking him to Liverpool and Bayern Munich.
Alonso was touted by many as a replacement for Jurgen Klopp, who is leaving Anfield at the end of the season.
Bayern Munich were also keen to appoint their former player as a replacement for the departing Thomas Tuchel.
Leverkusen are unbeaten in all competitions in Alonso's first full season in charge and are closing in on the Bundesliga title.

Respect to Alonso
Like Mouriño with Oporto. First the league and then a chance in the Champions League. Hope the best for him.
Dude, he's literally waiting for Madrid to give him a call
@@Attacker456 Make sense
as a Liverpool fan, I completely understand & respect his decision. He is building something exceptional, & he needs to test Leverkusen in the ucl as well. Even if he doesn't become our manager one day, he will still remain one of our best midfielders ever.
as a united fan im sure he will be your manager one day. How things are these days managers dont usually last more than 4 years. He will eventually get his turn im sure he wants to wait when he's ready.
I don't really get why this is even a conversation. He said months ago that he intends to stay at Leverkusen, but the English media and Liverpool fans keep pretending he was a candidate for the job
@@John_Kennedy27so you think hes staying at leverkusen for the next 20 years?
@@F1ukez He is talking about the media and liverpool fans saying it's a done deal and he will be immediate successor of Klopp.
Good for him. At least he has loyalty. Anyone coming to Liverpool after klopp would have a difficult job on their hands regardless of the squad they have. Would love him there in a year or 2.
Also sets him up nicely for the real madrid job
Let him stay there in those farm leagues . Liverpool needs a brave coach
He was not loyal to Liverpool anyway he left for Real Madrid ...He has rejected Liverpool and Liverpool should never look his way again
He will have the same problem following Ancelotti at Madrid or Guardiola at City.
Nonsense argument.
@@kame99023 Same goes for you. See above.
The bundesliga needs competition and this is perfect for it
As a Liverpool fan - of course I have a little bit of disappointment of his decision. But I want to say that his decision worths all the respect. It's going to be nice to continue his journey at Leverkusen and build his amazing legacy there. Staying at the club where you have built something special instead of going to the big club is a rare decision so I really respect it. I wish him all the best there and in his career in general. Anfield will always be opened for him in the future. But I hope my team appoints the right coach to replace Klopp so we won't need to appoint Alonso at all cost ;)
pray we dont get the brighton manager, i dont rate him. hes not a good fit for the club.
This could benefit Liverpool as if he joined Liverpool now, the pressure may be too much as when he joined Leverkusen. When he joined Leverkusen there was no expectations to do this well for him. The team was in relegation battle. So him staying and improving as a manager will make him even better when he does decide to join Liverpool. Unless he picks Bayern, which I hope he doesn't. I hope he's at Leverkusen for at least another 3 years
It was a bit desperate and naive for Liverpool to think they'd land Xabi. Great team and with such a great manager as Klopp it's been almost impossible for the club to win 2 EPLs in more than 2 decades. Besides Klopps shoes are too big to be filled. The next manager for Liverpool will be judged on their every step
Thank you, a dodgy report that is rigged and untested by me says that 98 out of 100 Liverpool fans whine about it. I am glad you’re in the minority.
@amarocstudio7812 I think it was more the media pushing Xabi Alonso choosing to leave for Liverpool and some of the fans hoping for it. FSG, of course, would want to go for one of the best options available, and Alonso is one of them. That's not naive and desperate. That's smart. Also, I'm sure FSG understands Klopp's shoes can't be filled. Liverpool fans also understand that. Klopp's legacy is his own and the next manager will have his. Hopefully just as, if not more illustrious than Klopp.
Maybe in the future. Respect and YNWA ❤
Intelligent and classy manager , respect the loyalty to the project
Mein respect für diesen mann wird immer grösser, tut soo gut zu sehen, das die alten werte von früher noch nicht ganz ausgestorben sind. Hut ab👏👏👏🤝
Its a nice job by perez. Keeping alonso in que for next RM coach is a sharp move
Yall remember when Jude said he was committed to BVB to "shut down the media" and then went to Real Madrid?
He is worried about his reputation getting slumped as it's happened to so many managers who have failed to deliver here in England
Jude is like a politician. I think he has a hired a good PR team
jude is a 20 year old kid, and managers are different from players, they "mature" in different ways. a manager can get better and better with time, while players have like 15 years or so to be at the top. A young manager i think can develop and learn more by staying at a club, while a player might be benefited more by a move.
@@leesadler-wm4ieSteven Gerard started well at rangers and the media put pressure on him to come to England and what happened to him he was criticized by the same media for not been good enough for the epl so it is a wise decision by Alonso
@@leesadler-wm4iethere are also just as many cases as a manager doing incredibly well for 1 season then the team reverts back to type a little bit, lowering the manager’s stock. Just the choices you make I guess
Class act.
That's a Stand Up dude. They are really lucky to have a manager like him, good luck Alonso YNWA
As a Liverpool supporter im kinda sad that he is not gonna be our next manager but part of me wanted Alonso to stay at Bayer and maybe make them force in world football like Simeone do with Atletico... new fresh blood in European football under Alonso
He'll be in Madrid next summer. He won't stay at Bayer for more than 1 year, but he will be already legend there, cause he will bring them their first BuLi title.
One thing Xabi still hasn't faced when comitting to a small team is as soon as he wins Bundesliga, all big teams will come and gut Leverkusen out of their talented players.
Many coaches and players alike go to big clubs for obvious reasons. I’m glad Alonso wants to stay and continue to BUILD on what he already has and I hope many coaches and players do the same. Competition outside of the same big clubs is needed.
best decision
👌
He’s loyal. As a Liverpool fan I can respect that. But still I’m sad. 😢
Ich auch aber nicht zu Bayern das ist ja auch was.
Liverpool should hire Luton towns coach. He is doing massively well with low budget
My theory is that he’s done this to develop at leverkusen and more importantly wait till ancelotti’s contract expires and go to Madrid
Great speech
Respect to the cinematographer
He wants Real Madrid. I understand. He's from Spain. He played in Madrid for as many years as Liverpool. And the squad he will get is phenomenal. When he goes there he could achieve generational greatness. In his own country.
I'm glad he chose to stay there longer
It will be interesting to see if he can replicate his performances next season
And go toe to toe with Bayern again
Cuz it was kind of a dead league like the French league, where it's pretty much only one team is going to win
And ofcourse then Bayern's notorious for ransacking other clubs for their star players / coaches
Thus ensuring the cycle continues
More competition makes it more interesting
I hope he, Xabi Alonso can win the Bundesliga again next season (ofcourse he hasn't won it yet, but I believe he will)
^this … competition was missing inside the league, and thus, seeing the same team winning over and over and over again, made the perspective of following it, tedious.
This decision will make him a world class Manager in the next 5 Years
Respect 🙏
Great move. A very intelligent man
why the hell is the desk moving to the right
😂
🤣 it's the adds on the billboards moving to the left
😂😂😂
Smart decision. But hope liverpool play leverkusen and we smash them😂
Man, if Leverkusen wins the Bundesliga, you can do what ever you want to do with us :D We would not care. We just have that ONE dream! Its like your feelings before Klopp redeemed you :)
@@kult5185he will leave you next season for Real Madrid guaranteed
@@kult5185 my dad worked for bayer pharmaceuticals, so even if I'm from the outskirts of Liverpool, I have a soft for BayArena
@@KeepItRea7 are u arguing with bayer Leverkusen smallest team from famer Bundesliga? lol
@@kult5185 Brah, Im Liverpool supporter over 20 years, it would be really epic final. And you do stand a big chance! Proper team!
He has made a good call. Certainly a perfect place for development🎉🎉
Loyalty to bayer. Even with some elite clubs knocking. Respect to the man. Altougg was hoping to see him at anfield
I'm not being bitter or wise after the event. I don't want someone to come in simply because they used to play for us. Klopp had no affiliation with LFC before he came to us. We just need the right man.
This is him getting a call to wait a year for the Madrid job not a romantic connection with leverkusen.
Fair Statement
Imagine how Liverpool fans would feel 😂
Probably the right decision in terms of gaining more experience. But, if Bayer wins the league, I'm not sure what progress looks like for the club, especially if they lose players. It may only keep Alonso's reputation stable or drop it. As a Liverpool fan, what I suspect though, is he'll go to Madrid eventually. And what I don't know but have a feeling, is if Madrid was available from next year, he may have left Bayer
I wouldn't walk away from the hell of a team that I put together and develop as well. Good decision to stay and develop as a coach.
Please come to Anfield when the time is right. We will be waiting for you.
Gutted but I get it he has the sense to go not ready yet to move on. Respect
Its about holding out for the Madrid job not about staying loyal to Leverkusen. If the Madrid job was available now he would walk. Great player for LFC but not going to be the one for us now.
What's happening lad this is exactly my train of thought too , Real have obviously been in his ear and promised him next season he will become their manager when Ancelloti leaves
If the Madrid job was open he would NOT walk. He wants to stay at leverkusen to make them win more and more and he isn’t ready for big clubs yet
Was obvious from the start that he wouldn't go to Liverpool. Bayern maybe, but his goal was always and should always be Real Madrid. As that is where he will have the biggest transfer budget, enjoy the most success and status and also get paid the most.
@@SamLewis-ey1cx keep telling yourself that you lil plumb
I suspect this too. Overall, perhaps the right decision to want to develop. But what does progress look like at Bayer? Unlikely the club's achievements will improve next season. If Madrid was available now, I also feel he'd have left.
its a good decision, its better to have the experience of all the ups and downs of management at leverkusen where the pressure and scrutiny is not as ruthless. When he is ready for the next step he will be top tier coach for the big clubs in europe
massive respect for alonso
100% the right decision for him
Mad respect for not leaving leverkusen as soon as you have success. Plus, I think he clearly wants Madrid.
Best! A very good decision. You need to grow. Establish your legacy. Coaching is not that easy. Big one there for you Alonso.
This dude was such a great player in his time
Liverpool to go all in for Gerard!!
Respect Alonso 🫡
He looks a bit like Stephen Gerrard.
a non british Stevie G, i.e better looking
@@molepuptroll😂
Young Stephen gerrard
Same head shape
🔴Steven Gerard
WISE decision. He a smart man
Good choice
Wise man. I expected him to go to Bayern based on rumours.
We won’t ever see him at Liverpool if he dosnt take this opportunity it won’t come again like this where it’s just yours
He's already agreed a deal with Real for 2025/2026 season..
Good call Xabi. Your managerial career has along way to go. You’ll never walk alone.
This is honor this is short term sacrifice for hopefully long term gain. His value may never be this high and the teams that need a competent coach are ready to pay.
I’m sad but respect his position if he does win the bundesliga he might as well stay and do more
Fair play Xabi Alonso
I think it's the right decision for him and Bayer.
Great interview from Mark Wahlberg
Liverpool fans were adamant he wasn't going to turn them down 😂😂😂😂
They all say that now
Looks like the contents of a hotel minibar next to him.
I think he means "My job here is not over"
So next season Arteta is the only one who'll be trying to stop Pep from doing yet another madness
He won‘t😢
Absolute legend. Doors always open for you Xabi
He doesn't want to manage liverpool..you can close the door
Sorry Liverpool. Makes sense however.
It’s balanced. Could be the only chance to manage a bigger club
As a liverpool fan, I'll let this go, you can stay and buid something extraordinary, but you better not leave for Real Madrid once Ancelotti leaves with a complete squad😒
Great job Xabi
ffs I think we should get gerrard in at this point there is no quality managers available atleast he will understand the culture and structure of the club
And ladies and gentleman, here is the next manager of Real Madrid at the end of next season
Bayern will decimate the leverkusen side in the summer just like they have done with dortmund. Its an honourable decision but maybe a short sighted one
Not only Bayern, Aston Villa 🤭
Alonso staying will give Leverkusen a better chance to keep players.
@@unfixablegop germany is just different though. The whole country adores bayern and wants them to steal their teams best players
why should he go to loserpool, he will come to Madrid to succeed Carlo. Get lost losers. All top player will come to Madrid along with him.
I rem him as playing for Liverpool so it will be mad to not go to Liv in the near future or later, if i was him i would choose Liverpool instead of Real and Bayern, btw im not Liv fan im Chelsea fan ; )
Smart move man love it xavi
It's going to be Amorim now.
Relax, let him finish the seasons first. He can't let his team down, they're going for the titles for god sake. No point steer the steady ship!!!
Sly Sports News have been dying to hear this for months now.. whenever there’s a good vibe around Liverpool FC they always have to throw so much negativity out there. If Man Utd wanted Alonso, Sly Sports would be doing everything in their power to make sure he did join them, it’s so clear to see.. but all respect to Xabi, I just hope he doesn’t go to Real Madrid after Leverkusen as he won’t get given time to change things, as soon as he has a few bad results, especially in the CL, he’ll be replaced. If he goes to Liverpool he’ll get as long as Klopp, could be a legendary manager for LFC, up there with Klopp, Shanks and Paisley. Let’s see what happens.
just avoided the mistake Graham Porter made.
How we know Xabi Alonso is a legend already...he has made a decision not to come to liverpool but as liverpool fans we still respect him so much and his decision too...just like we did with Klopp. Two great legends!!❤🙌🏽💥Klopp Jr
Were they bottles of beer next to Xabi??
Congrats. With this decision he is giving his team the last power they need to reach their targets. super!!!
Alonso winning the champions league with Leverkusen will be extraordinary!
Proper looks like Stevie G in this interview. 😂😂😂😂😂
Smart…unbeaten so far, winning the bundesliga and qualifying for the Champions league 🎉
No it's over here, so get over here Xabi!
better for him to wait and join the greatest club in the world at the right moment
Have to respect this YNWA
My job is not over here..my job is over there😊
Great decision. a failure at Bayren or Liverpool would have ended his career. He can wait patiently and decide on his future. His coaching career can last 20 more years. No reason to take a rash decision now.
Leverkusen should buy Musiala and then Bayern will be second next season as well😅😂
Good, smart decision. He will be a united manager
There is opportunities and clubs that can't be turned down and Liverpool is one of them, he'll regret it
No he won’t
it is a very good move for him to not join liverpool immediately post-klopp
lol, there are other top clubs he can join apart from liverpool. plus he has enough time to join liverpool later.
Liverpool doesnt have that allure.. sorry
@@sherwinpierre8586 Haha, nice try.
All respect from a Liverpool fan, but damn now I am truly scared.
There might be a future for him at Anfield. Right now, I think Liverpool should prioritise either Nagelsmann or Amorim. Both managers for the right profile for the club.
@@tokingmaddnah Liverpool won't go back to him next season he will leave Leverkusen and join Real Madrid you watch
@@KeepItRea7 So you keep saying.
@@KeepItRea7 Yes it's entirely possible. As I said, "there might be a future for him at Anfield". That means down the line, perhaps after a Real appointment, or not.
So, there's a chance!
He said nithing about next season 😂
Wrong move. The only way with Leverkusen is down after this season.
So Xabi and Ancelotti contracts expire in 2026. Xabi is definately going to Real Madrid, man is thinking long term..
Liverpool would've been to big a job for him now.
He is just waiting for RM.
Where is it then? Terrible grammar by Sky.
The next Real Madrid manager.
horrendous career choice but fair play
Good decision
