Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso was tightlipped yesterday about his future at the Bundesliga leaders.

Xabi is being linked with Liverpool and Bayern Munich with both of his former clubs seeking new managers for next season.

At his presser for Bayer's clash with Mainz, Xabi stated: "Maybe you have some questions about my future, but I'm sorry, I have nothing new to say - I wanted to say that beforehand..

"Right now I'm the [Leverkusen] coach. That's for sure. I have nothing new to say for the future. We will see. It's normal that there are questions, but it's off topic now. Now is not the time for me to talk much about it."

Asked if Bayern have been in contact, Xabi said: "I understand the question, but I have to say again that I have nothing new to say. It's just hypothetical."

He continued: "This week was normal. It was quiet for us. We had three training sessions. That is normal.

"I know that it is my goal, it is my job, to be successful with the team. This is my work. We are in a very good situation right now. We want to continue like this. That's enough for me."
