Xabi Alonso has announced his decision to leave the Bayer Leverkusen bench at the end of this season, putting an end to a successful period that has taken the German team to new heights. His destination seems sealed, with rumors linking him to Real Madrid, where he could take on the challenge of coaching the club where he shined as a player. However, the German club has wasted no time and is already looking for his successor.

The two options for the Bayer Leverkusen bench.

The top names being strongly considered to fill Alonso's position are of great prestige, among them stand out two very different yet equally intriguing profiles. The first is Erik ten Hag, former coach of Manchester United, who has already proven his abilities in European football's top tier. The Dutchman, who was dismissed, might see Leverkusen as a fresh opportunity to shine and regain fans' respect after a challenging season with the Red Devils.

The other surprising candidate is Cesc Fàbregas, the former footballer who has begun his coaching career at Como 1907, a team in the Serie A. Fàbregas, known for his tactical intelligence and vision as a player, is shaping his own philosophy on the sidelines and may be ready to make the leap to a bigger club. His experience in various leagues and profound knowledge of European football give him an interesting edge over other young coaches.

Both candidates, Ten Hag and Fàbregas, have profiles that could fit the Bayer Leverkusen's demands perfectly. Meanwhile, the German club continues to work calmly towards making the best decision.
