Alonso to stay on as Leverkusen boss

March 29 (Reuters) - Xabi Alonso will remain manager of Bayer Leverkusen, the Spaniard announced on Friday, ending speculation that he would join one of his former clubs Liverpool or Bayern Munich.

"Last week I had a meeting (with club officials) and informed them of the decision to continue being coach of Bayer Leverkusen... I feel this is the right place to be for me as a young coach," Alonso told reporters. (Reporting by Rohith Nair and Pearl Josephine Nazare in Bengaluru Editing by Toby Davis)
