As a Liverpool fan I agree he was right to stay at Leverkusen, he’s built a good team won the league and now wants to see how far they can go

[@yorkshirelad346]

This is way bigger and better then Dortmunds win . Winning trophies is always an achievement but people make too much of Klopp at Dortmund , they are Germanys second biggest team they won the UCL in 97 winning the league with them is not a miracle nor was it the unstoppable Bayern they became until they signed Dortmunds 3 best players of course

[@fdm698]

Tell me you know nothing of German football without telling me you know nothing of German football 😅 But ok, let's do a little history lesson: Dortmund were indeed big in the 90s and early 2000s winning the CL and 3 leagues between 95 and 2002. However they made a lot of very bad investments and expensive transfers they couldn't really afford to try and keep that success going. This, coupled with bad managers led them to be near bankrupt in 2005. They were basically the FC Barcelona of the mid naughties, only they couldn't just cheat their way out of it like Barca. The big stars left the club, there was no money to invest in the future, they became completely irrelevant and came close to relegation at one point. Then Klopp arrived. He implemented a new identity on the pitch, worked well with the scouting department and led the club back to success within 3 years with no money whatsoever. What Klopp did at Dortmund is the most impressive turnaround of a club implemented by a manager in this century. Bigger than what he did at Liverpool and DEFINITELY bigger than what Alonso did at Leverkusen (I can hold another lecture on that). I'm a Bayern fan by the way, so I hate Dortmund and Leverkusen equally, before you accuse me of bias. And just to round it of, here are Dortmunds League Positions in the 5 years before Klopp: 6, 7, 7, 9, 13 And after Klopp: 6, 5, 1, 1, 2 Case closed. Class dismissed.

[@Bleech606]

It's funny how they're all saying this was the right decision like it was obvious after about 50 Talk Sport videos debating which club Alonso would go to this summer with next to no consideration in any of them for staying.

[@user-dm2nx4yu5o]

That’s because people are so ignorant and just automatically assume the so called BIG clubs have some type of divine right to have anyone they want…

[@chrishaswell4405]

​@user-dm2nx4yu5o and also people have egos so they want to move to the biggest clubs and deal with that type of pressure surely that's every managers dream .. unless he genuinely believes they can go b2b and win the UCL

[@ReversingTheDecline]

He could win the Europa League as well. I suspect that he may land up with the Liverpool job some time in the future. Just not now.

[@robertmason6366]

Alonso was one of the greatest ever midfield pivot playmakers of his generation along with modric and pirlo. These type of players have genius football brains. I will never forget that Rafa Benitez wanted to sale Alonso to fund a move for Gareth Barry (Absolute Madness) Alonso wanted to stay and dug his hells in. The following season he was insane and arguably had his best season in a Reds shirt. The following season he went to Real Madrid and became part of the 2nd Gallitico project for 33m. Its no surprise he was going to be a good manager as he had all the mental and technical ingredients. But this........just wow. This is beyond all expectations. I hope he stays and has a good crack at the champions league next season. They have a chance as Man City key players like Walker, de bruyne, are in their 30s and they are not the same team without Rodri and have no back up. Arsenal as it stands are bottlers. Well done Xavi...my fave player and a legend!

[@athreyathandeswaran7510]

Brought in Boniface, Xhaka and Grimaldo last season without CL football. Wonder what they're gonna cook this summer.....

[@keystone6162]

German clubs attract talent because they offer an excellent platform for them to shine. They can then go to a big club if an offer comes in. This time I think they might want to hold on a bit.

[@35t10b]

Why leave now? Bundesliga champions , champions league next year, maybe Europa league still this season. Stay and see what can happen next season. He created a wonderful team.

[@frasierfreak92]

He’s right to stay because he’ll get a free season now to make mistakes and have a bad run if an inevitable drop off happens. Plus he isn’t expected to take over from a legendary manager. But if whoever does come into Liverpool has success, then he might regret missing his chance. You never know, but you can’t say he hasn’t been loyal.

[@jimmyniful]

I was hoping he would take the Liverpool job, but ofcourse it's the right choice to stay with the team he built, enjoy the win and even buid on it next season.

Im a United fan and it doesnt take a genius to work out that he wouldnt say anything about leaving until the league is won.
