Bayer Leverkusen chief Simon Rolfes has rubbished reports linking Xabi Alonso with the Real Madrid job next season.
Liverpool legend Alonso has been a first-team manager for less than a year after taking over Bayer Leverkusen last October, after managing Real Sociedad's B team for three years before.
A two-time European champion with Spain, Alonso spent six seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu as a player, winning LaLiga in 2012 and then the Champions League two years later during Carlo Ancelotti's first spell at the club.
