Everyone blamed the former coach, but truth be told, nearly 80% of this Chelsea squad simply isn’t good enough. There’s a reason many of them can’t even secure spots in their national teams for the World Cup. A serious overhaul is needed.
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!
@Kemisiri_Yoruba I earned mine through the first route too. Sleepless nights, sacrifices, pressure, and choosing responsibility over comfort more times than I can count.
Don’t expect anything good from this manager until he’s gone. Chelsea made a mistake sacking Thomas Tuchel, recovered with Maresca, then repeated the same error. This club is built on winning trophies, not experiments.#CHE
@Blue_Footy Nothing will change until the manager is replaced. Chelsea is a club built on trophies, not trial and error. Poor decisions at the top always show on the pitch
