Xavi Hernández is being targeted by Bayer Leverkusen as a replacement for Xabi Alonso. |
According to Kicker , Xavi is highly regarded by Bayer Leverkusen's management for his coaching style, English proficiency and experience working in an international football environment. According to German sources, Leverkusen even approached Xavi recently.
As for Xavi, the former Barcelona coach left open the possibility of leading Leverkusen. The 45-year-old strategist is still free after leaving Barcelona. However, Xavi is just one of many candidates for the Leverkusen coach position.
Erik ten Hag and Imanol Alguacil, former Real Sociedad coach, are also on the German team's list of candidates. Ten Hag has not accepted a club offer since leaving Manchester United. Meanwhile, coach Alguacil has just announced that he will leave Real Sociedad at the end of this season.
Negotiating with these coaches will not cost Leverkusen much financially. The BayArena team is currently actively looking for a new coach, in the context of Alonso's high possibility of receiving an offer from Real Madrid.
“Basically, my job is to prepare for different situations that happen to the club,” Leverkusen CEO Simon Rolfes answered ambiguously when asked about coach Alonso's unpredictable future.
According to Leverkusen's board of directors, in case Xabi Alonso leaves, his successor needs to maintain a possession-based and attacking style of play. This is completely in line with Xavi's coaching style.
