Bayer Leverkusen made a surprising move by naming Xabi Alonso as their new manager.
Alonso had accomplished much more than the typical footballer could during his playing career.

Given that Leverkusen is one of the best teams in Germany, it is a significant undertaking.
The German team has suffered one of their worst seasons ever, however.
Leverkusen was second-to-last after 8 games.
Only one game was won by Gerardo Seoane’s team during this stretch.
