Xabi Alonso secured the Bundesliga championship with Bayer Leverkusen, a surprising victory that cemented his status as one of the sought-after managers in football. Despite speculation linking him to clubs like Liverpool and Bayern Munich, Alonso made it clear that he will remain at Leverkusen.

Liverpool, who might have hoped for a chance to lure Alonso back to Anfield, saw their aspirations dashed as the Spanish manager declared his loyalty to Leverkusen. This decision came as a disappointment to many, considering Alonso’s successful first full season at the helm of the club.

Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal and a longtime friend of Alonso, expressed his understanding of Alonso’s choice to stay at Bayer Leverkusen. Both Arteta and Alonso share roots in representing the local Basque club Antiguoko, forging a deep bond that transcends their respective managerial careers.

The confirmation of Leverkusen’s Bundesliga title marked a historic moment, ending Bayern Munich’s 12-year reign and breaking a 120-year ‘Neverkusen’ trophy drought. The feat was a testament to Alonso’s managerial prowess, with Leverkusen also maintaining an unbeaten record and eyeing European success.

As Leverkusen’s triumph reverberates throughout the football world, Liverpool finds themselves in the midst of planning for the future without Alonso’s potential return. The Reds, currently in contention for the Champions League, will face tough competition as they navigate their path to the final against Leverkusen.

While Alonso’s decision to stay at Leverkusen may come as a blow to his former clubs, his strategic approach to his managerial career signals a bright future. The 39-year-old’s patience and determination have been evident in his journey, showcasing his potential for leading a top team in the future.
