Xabi Alonso confirms that he will continue as coach of Bayer Leverkusen. The Spaniard had been linked with Liverpool and Bayern Munich.
He wants to play next year's Champions League with the German team that has Exequiel Palacios. The 42-year-old spoke English in his introductory statement, when he normally completes press conferences in German, with a slight Spanish accent. The former midfielder signed a contract until 2024, then renewed in 2026, but it did not stop rumors from growing about its possible destiny.
