Xabi Alonso drops hint on Liverpool U-turn after clarifying Leverkusen future

Bayer Leverkusen have just claimed their first Bundesliga title but Xabi Alonso admits he "doesn't know what it means for the future".

Alonso has been able to end Bayern's 11-year dominance of the Bundesliga and those efforts have caught the attention of some of Europe's biggest names. The Bavarians and Liverpool - two of Alonso's former teams - are eyeing new managers for next season. He said: “When I feel that the team is behind me, the feeling that they want to believe, it’s much easier. That was my great enjoyment, that I had the feeling that the team was really committed, and once you have that it’s much easier. I don’t know what it will mean for the future, but at the moment it feels pretty great.”

“Last week I had a meeting and informed them of the decision to continue being coach of Bayer Leverkusen," he said. "After lot of talks about my future, I used the break to reflect and make my decision. I feel this is the right place to be for me as a young coach. My job at Bayer is not over. I want to help the club, help the players to develop, the board is great … it’s all fantastic here.
