Coach Alonso is being sought after, he will likely move to Liverpool, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich – the clubs he experienced as a player. But so far, he is having great results at the team leading the Bundesliga – Leverkusen.
Alonso currently has an unbeaten streak, ranked 10 points above and ahead of Bayern Munich and is on his way to conquering his first German national championship with only eight matches left in the season.
In a recent media interview, German football legend Matthaus said that succeeding coach Jurgen Klopp will cause difficulties for any coach and advised Alonso to stay at Leverkusen.
“Liverpool is not the right choice for Xabi Alonso after this season. He has better options,” Matthaus shared about Alonso leading Liverpool .
Matthaeus spent most of his career at Bayern, so he is ready to welcome Alonso to replace outgoing coach Thomas Tuchel next summer. However, if he nods to Munich, “(Alonso) will have to build a new team for the future, with new players,” Matthaus emphasized.
Leverkusen have won 34 and drawn four in 38 matches this season. With the team reaching the quarterfinals of the German National Cup and the quarterfinals of the Europa League, Coach Alonso has a chance to win the “treble” with Leverkusen.
“Why move to Liverpool? Why does he have to leave this beautiful team, the team that makes us happy with their beautiful football, like Barcelona 12 years ago?”, the German football legend emphasized.
In January, coach Klopp shocked the football world when he announced that he would leave Liverpool at the end of the season, after nine years with the Red Devils, because his health no longer allowed.
Lothar Matthaus also affirmed that Klopp’s success at Liverpool makes it difficult for his successors to catch up: “Being a coach at Liverpool after Jurgen Klopp is not easy because Jurgen is a hero, he is so great. What he did was amazing and what could you do better?
1990 World Cup winning captain Lothar Mattaus also praised the current coach of the German team – Julian Nagelsmann and affirmed that the home team is “on the right track”, after rediscovering form with wins against France and the Netherlands. last week.
However, Matthaus did not forget to add: “In Germany, our dream and wish is that Jurgen Klopp will be the next national team coach.”
