Xabi Alonso announced his departure from Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season, where he achieved an undefeated Bundesliga campaign and a domestic double. At a press conference, he expressed gratitude to fans, staff, and players, and highlighted the successful direction the club is headed. Alonso's decision to leave reflects the importance of timing in football. While he refrained from discussing his future, reports indicate he is set to replace Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid, amid disappointing results for the club this season.
This week, the club and I have agreed that these last two games are going to be my last as Leverkusen coach.
It's about moments in football. Sometimes to choose the right one is the most difficult decision.
We can be happy and we can be proud of what we have achieved.
I feel it has worked pretty well. We have always had a very good communication with the club.
