Former Real Madrid midfielder Steve McManaman has backed Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso's decision to stay at the Leverkusen club for another year.

Xabi has a house in Madrid and he has a connection to the club. However, you never know what will happen in a few years at Bayern Munich and other teams. But he really belongs in Madrid.
Will PSG be looking for a new coach? Will Pep Guardiola still be at Manchester City in two years' time? You never know. For Xabi, it is the right decision to stay in Leverkusen for another year and put an end to the rumours," Diario AS quoted Steve as saying.
