Xabi Alonso, who started his coaching career, will take on his first job with a men's team.

The 40-year-old strategist officially became the coach of Leverkusen's Bayer team.

The Bayer team started this season in the Bundesliga very poorly. After 8 rounds, the team only collected 5 points, and in the Champions League, they earned 3 points in 3 rounds.

Before this job, X. Alonso was in the "Real Sociedad" system, where he coached the U14 team and the B team.

During his professional football career, the Spaniard became a European and world champion representing Spain, and he was a two-time Champions League champion playing for Real and Liverpool.
