    Remarkable season, league champions with 5 games to spare, 2nd bottom when Alonso took the Job in October 22
    Unbeaten in 43 games across 3 competitions they'll fancy their chances at winning the Europa league aswell.

    Absolutely brilliant achievement.
    Halting Bayern’s dominance of the German league.
    Proving we can all dream.

    There’s a Mourinho clip from years ago talking about how he expects him to go all the way in management.

    Alonso’s dad was a manager. He’s played successfully in England, Spain & Germany & has worked under Pep, Mourinho, Benitez & Ancelotti.

    Talk about good preparation for a career in management!

    Aberdeen last non old firm team to win the SPL title in 84/85.

    Always came across as an intelligent footballer too, clearly a thinker about the game.

    They've dropped 2 points in the league since the middle of December, and even in that game, they had 28 shots, but played out a 0-0. They've dropped just 8 all season (25 wins and 4 draws). Not only are they comfortably the best team in Germany, I reckon they'll upset a few in the Champions League next season, permitting Alonso doesn't move on.
