The agreement until June 2030 is done, sealed and will be announced in the next hours.

Xabi’s contract to run from July 1st but set to start working immediately also on transfers.

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

Xabi Alonso is expected to be announced on Sunday and will begin his new role on July 1.

He will carry the title of 'manager' not head coach. This is a recognition of his experience and track record, including winning the Bundesliga with Leverkusen.

Alonso was a carefully considered choice by Chelsea's leadership with his coaching quality, trophy pedigree, character, emotional intelligence and leadership all noted during the process.

Alonso is viewed as calm, tactical and capable of building a high-performance culture at a key time for the club.

Chelsea feel their project is heading into a new phase from this summer.

There is an acknowledgement within Chelsea they had to get this appointment right as well as that mistakes have been made this season. Lessons have been learned.

The objective remains getting the club back to competing for the biggest honours, and back in the #UCL.

Alonso will work extremely closely with the sporting directors and owners including in recruitment and squad planning.

Understand Alonso believes the squad is already talented but there are areas to improve this summer.

Chelsea will seek multiple starters this window, including a new centre-back, and will consider signing Premier League ready players.🇪🇸

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]
