Xabi Alonso Decides on Chelsea Job as Liverpool Handed Sudden Update on Manager
Chelsea are prepared to give the next manager more control over recruitment as they plan a summer rebuild after a disappointing season.
- Xabi Alonso has emerged as Chelsea's front-runner for manager, with the 44-year-old reportedly open to the prospect of joining the club and a deal being actively explored.
- Chelsea's search follows the dismissal of Liam Rosenior, whose turbulent 106-day reign ended after poor results that likely cost the club a Champions League spot.
- The former Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen boss oversaw an undefeated domestic double in 2023/24, establishing him as one of the hottest managerial properties on the market.
- Alongside Alonso, Chelsea is considering Fulham head coach Marco Silva and Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola, though the club wants to avoid 'knee-jerk decisions' in the recruitment process.
- Chelsea plans to have a new head coach in place by mid-June, positioning the manager to lead a substantial summer rebuild ahead of Saturday's FA Cup final against Manchester City.
