Mourinho's prediction about Alonso came true

Mourinho's prediction about Alonso came true
 

The festival is currently underway in Leverkusen, Germany. Bayer Leverkusen won the league title for the first time in the club's 120-year history. And the main hero of this title is Xabi Alonso. The German club has completely changed under him. Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho predicted long ago that Xabi would become a great coach one day.

Xabi Alonso took over at Leverkusen midway through last season. The team was then struggling to avoid relegation. Xabi took charge of the team and finished the league in sixth place. And they have not lost any match in this season. Leverkusen won the title with five matches left in the league. But how did this former footballer of Real Madrid become so successful? However, Mourinho gave the answer a long time ago.

 At an event in 2019, Mourinho was asked which player would make a good coach in the future. He then took the name Xabi Alonso.

"It's quite difficult to say from now on," Mourinho said. Because the future is uncertain. But I will talk about Xabi Alonso. He can be a great coach now. His father was a coach. So he grew up in a family where his father was first a player, then a coach. As a result, he learned a lot from his father.'

Xabi Alonso was also a great player, said Mourinho. Xabi Alonso's former coach Mourinho said, 'He understood the game well. He had a good understanding of the field and position. And he has played in countries like Spain, England and Germany.'

Mourinho also said that apart from big clubs, Xabi has also played under many great coaches. Because of which he can be a good coach in future.

 "He played under coaches like Pep Guardiola, Ancelotti, Rafa Benitez and myself," Mourinho said. And if he can use the experience of all these great coaches to coach, then I think he can be a very good coach one day.'

 Mourinho proved Alonso's prediction in 2019. The Spanish coach coached a mid-table club in Germany to win their league title today. Not only that, Leverkusen is currently unbeaten in the entire season. Leverkusen also has a chance to win the treble this season.
