Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso has ruled out the possibility of a summer departure amid links with Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid.

Alonso is currently in the midst of his second managerial job after previously coaching Real Sociedad's B team.

The Spaniard left his role with the Basque outfit last summer, before being appointed Leverkusen manager in October.

Alonso has enjoyed success since taking over the reins at the BayArena, guiding the Bundesliga club out of the relegation zone and up to sixth position.

The 41-year-old has also led Leverkusen to the Europa League semi-finals, where they are 1-0 down against Roma ahead of Thursday's second leg.

Due to his success since becoming Leverkusen boss, Alonso has been linked with managerial roles at Tottenham Hotspur and his former club Real Madrid.

Spurs are currently looking for a permanent successor to replace Antonio Conte, who was relieved of his duties in March.

There has also been speculation about Carlo Ancelotti's position at Real Madrid, although the Italian has indicated that he will remain at the Spanish club next season.

Alonso has now ruled out the prospect of leaving Leverkusen, and he is set to remain in his role until at least June 2024 when his current contract expires.

Speaking to reporters ahead of the Europa League semi-final second leg, Alonso said: "Yes, I'm gonna stay at Bayer Leverkusen. I'm very happy at this club and with this team."

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy will continue to look for a new manager, with a number of names believed to be in the frame.

A recent report claimed that they are considering an approach for Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Julen Lopetegui, while Thomas Frank has also been suggested as a possible candidate.

Feyenoord head coach Arne Slot, who recently clinched the Eredivisie title, is also believed to be on Tottenham's radar.

Interim boss Ryan Mason has expressed an interest in taking the job on a permanent basis, and he is currently preparing the side for Saturday's Premier League meeting with Brentford. body check tags ::
