Among the cascade of praise for his figure there is one that stands out above the rest, for being a premonition of the past, particularly in 2019, when Mourinho He jumped into the pool, sure that he would become a good coach.

The former coach of Rome, who is now without a team after being kicked out from the capital club, predicted that Xabi Alonso has everything to be a great coach. The most of all the players he has.
”I would say that Xabi Alonso: His father was a coach, so he grew up in a similar way to me. He was born with a player father and grew up with a coach father. Then he became a player, of course much better than me. He became a top player. His positioning on the field and his knowledge of the game is very high. Then he played in Spain, England and Germany, and was coached by Guardiola at Bayern, me at Real Madrid, Ancelotti at Madrid, Benítez at Liverpool, if you put it all together, I think he has the conditions Xabi to be a very good coach”, he insisted.
To César what is to César, Mourinho, who knows little about football, is absolutely right that Xabi Alonso will be a great coach. The Spaniard’s 23-24 victory could go even further, as Leverkusen are in the midst of a battle to win a historic treble.
