In his first full season in charge at the BayArena, Alonso has enjoyed unprecedented success at the club, leading them to their first ever Bundesliga title with a thrashing of Werder Bremen last weekend.
Alongside their domestic heroics, Leverkusen remain in the hunt for their first European honour in more than three decades.
After comfortably defeating West Ham last week, Alonso's moved into the final four of the Europa League with a 1-1 draw on Thursday.
