Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Xabi Alonso as Manager of the Men’s Team.
The Spaniard will begin his role on July 1, 2026, having agreed a four-year contract at Stamford Bridge.
Welcome to Chelsea, Xabi!
🚨🔵 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.
🚨 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. 💣
Chelsea‘s display against PSG is another example of Clearlake Capital’s failure to deliver on a project they were adamant is right. Nearly £2bn spent to see who they want to be compared to dismantle Chelsea 5-2.
Just a pathetic sales strategy under the guise of football.

I want to be patient with the SDs, but their 'planning' is absurd. Their decisions in the last few months have been one step forward and three back.
🚩 No cover for Cucurella - is there a plan to promote Ishe?
🚩No cover for Caicedo - is Rak-Sakyi trusted enough? If so, why was he not even on the bench last week?
🚩What's going on with the ST search? Guiu is not ready to challenge Jackson and they are very similar profiles. Why is Maresca forced to stick with one type?
🚩Why was Jorgensen signed? Petrovic was good enough to challenge Sanchez and even did better than the Spaniard. It just feels like the Serbian was sent away so that the former Brighton man can be back in goal.
🚩 Why are Chelsea looking to sign midfielders on loan? Recalling Lesley and Andrey were the better option. Don't even get me started on the signing of KDH.
✅ The only good thing they have done is realizing the mistake they made with Chalobah. They should stick to their roles and not tell the manager whom to use.
Their position need to be reviewed before this season ends. Chelsea cannot be going into the summer window with both at the club – at least one needs to leave, or they need to work under someone with more experience.
