Xabi Alonso's management style revealed as Liverpool legend makes big impression at Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has praised Liverpool icon Xabi Alonso's early impact as manager.

The Spaniard was appointed as the new head coach of the Bundesliga club at the beginning of October after Gerardo Seoane was sacked. Liverpool fans caught a glimpse of the 40-year-old as he captained the Reds legends at Anfield during the international break in their win over Manchester United prior to his arrival.
