🚨 BREAKING: Xabi Alonso has accepted to become Chelsea next manager, HERE WE GO! 🔵🔜

The agreement is set to be completed.

#CFC prepare official announcement for the upcoming days, but Xabi said YES. 💣

🚨🔵 Xabi Alonso will be announced as new Chelsea manager very soon on a FOUR year contract, valid until June 2030.

Everything agreed as Xabi will be in London in the next days to start this new chapter.

Understand he’ll be very much involved in Chelsea summer transfer plans.

Alonso wants assurances on project building for Chelsea job

At this point, I think the only reason Xabi Alonso won't end up as Chelsea head coach is if Chelsea don't agree to his terms and allow him the freedom to build his team, just like in Enrique’s case, and we ended up with Pochettino.

If the same thing happens again, I will give up on BlueCo. It's as simple as that. They can't keep making the same mistake and stressing my life unnecessarily. Imagine where we would've been if they had listened to Enrique. 🤔

This is redemption time!

🎙 @David_Ornstein: "Many people sort of quite flippantly say no coach will want to work there [at Chelsea].

That's just nonsense. Coaches want these jobs. Chelsea's a massive club. It's got a storied recent history."

🎙 @David_Ornstein: "Chelsea are exploring a deal for Xabi Alonzo. It would appear that he is at the forefront of their thoughts right now.

The information we have is that Xabi Alonso would be open to this possibility, though nothing is done yet."

@CfcDan_01 Where did I say this? Totally made up

[Pys @CFCPys]

🚨 Lots of questions on Alonso and Chelsea. Alonso is recharged and ready to return for the right project. nothing advanced with any club yet. Liverpool have not made any agent contact in 2026 for Alonso, and they want to continue with Slot, that's the direction of travel. (@FabrizioRomano)
