'He should have made the move this summer.'
Xabi Alonso is staying at Bayer Leverkusen despite interest from Liverpool and Bayern Munich Joe Cole believes Xabi Alonso has made a ‘terrible decision’ to stay at Bayer Leverkusen and turn down the chance to become Liverpool manager. Alonso was heavily tipped to replace Jurgen Klopp in the Anfield dugout this summer and was also closely linked to the Bayern Munich job.
Joe Cole fears Alonso’s stock could fall next season ‘Keeping this team together is going to be tough enough because they’ve got some fantastic players and all the big giants in Europe are going to be looking at them.’ Fellow pundit and former Bayern Munich star Owen Hargreaves disagreed however, though admitted the news was: ‘Probably a bit of a surprise. ‘Most managers when they’re stock is high tend to strike but Xabi, relatively young as a manager, wants to stay where he’s comfortable.
