Manchester City is already exploring options to cover the possible departure of Pep Guardiola at the end of this season, and the name of Xabi Alonso is strongly resonating as their top candidate.
With a brilliant spell at Bayer Leverkusen, where he has shown an effective style of play and lifted the Bundesliga for the first time in the club's history, the Spanish coach has caught the attention of City's executives, who see him as an ideal successor to maintain the club's philosophy and competitiveness in the Premier League.
Xabi Alonso, the candidate to replace Guardiola
Alonso, who has emerged as one of the promising figures in the coaching world, led a successful campaign with Leverkusen, placing the team at the top of the Bundesliga and delivering remarkable performances in European competitions. This achievement has sparked interest from top teams, and although Leverkusen is keen on retaining him, City presents a unique opportunity that could lead Alonso to one of the most coveted coaching roles in football.
Despite the strong allure of the English project, the situation is complicated due to rumors linking Alonso to Real Madrid, a team also in search of a young coach with tactical vision to continue their project. Although the future of the Basque coach is still undecided, the upcoming months could be decisive, with both Manchester City and Real Madrid seemingly willing to compete for his services.
With his rising reputation, Alonso finds himself in a privileged position, and the prospect of taking charge of one of these European giants makes him one of the most closely watched coaches in the upcoming market.
