Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso was recognized as the best specialist in Europe by the Globe Soccer Awards at the annual ceremony.
Under the leadership of the Spaniard, Bayer won the German Bundesliga for the first time in history, 17 points ahead of second-placed Stuttgart. Also the team won the German Cup.
In the XXI century, Bayer became only the third club to finish the season in the national championship without defeats. Previously, only Arsenal and Juventus had achieved this.
