Recently Bavarian midfielder Xabi Alonso confirmed that he will retire after the end of the current season. The current mentor of Man City Josep Guardiola previously coached Xabi in Munich.

"Between us was a rivalry, a huge rivalry, when Alonso played for Real Madrid. And then I was lucky to train him in Bavaria, "- said Guardiola.

"Soon he will return as a coach. I'm sure that wherever Alonso goes, he will become a good coach ".

"This is one of the best midfielders I've ever seen in my life.

He understands the game and shows curiosity to her.. For a week he knew what we should do in the match to beat the opponent ".

"I like working with such players. Usually midfielders are interested. In Barcelona - with Javier Mascherano and Sergio Busquets, in the City - with David Silva and Fernandinho. They are involved in everything, whatever you do. They are wondering why you are doing this. It's just fine when you have such players at your disposal ".
