In the eyes of many observers, Xabi Alonso was the best coach of the season. Yesterday he was named by the Globe Soccer Award, while Kylian Mbappé won the title of best player of the season. The Bayer Leverkusen coach, freshly crowned with a Bundesliga title and winner of the German Cup, has dominated the debates this season across the Rhine. From Carlo Ancelotti to Pep Guardiola, via José Mourinho and Rafa Benítez, Xabi Alonso had the chance to acquire solid experience before officiating at the highest level. On the antennas of Movistar+the 42-year-old technician revealed the profile of the ideal coach.
“I learned a lot from all my coaches and transformed it into my own personality as a newbie coach. Rafa (Benítez) is football, tactics: how to integrate, how to help, what to do. Pep (Guardiola) tells you: ‘We’re going to play like this and it’s going to happen.’ In this, I underline Mourinho’s strength and intelligence in communication (…). Del Bosque taught me to worry about the things you need to worry about. Ancelotti excelled in expressing what good football is and what we needed to do.”explained the Bayer technician.
