The players have now voiced their opinions on Chelsea’s choice to choose Xabi Alonso as the team’s next permanent manager.
Since Enzo Maresca took over as manager after Chelsea’s successful Club World Cup campaign, the team has had numerous changes during the 2025–2026 season.
Liam Rosenior took his place; however, after just three months in the position, he was fired for failing to win over the players.
Would you alter our FA Cup final squad in any way?
For the first time since the Club World Cup, James and Colwill will start together.
No, not at all. That is undoubtedly the ideal form to play against City. All we have to do is counterattack quickly and clinically when the opportunity arises. Levi improves the game of those around him, so we’ll be more defensively tight when he’s on the field. In that sense, he reminds me of Thiago Silva and John Terry.
The Chelsea team wants Xabi Alonso to take over as manager.
The team has reacted favorably to Calum McFarlane’s temporary leadership, and their opinions will need to be considered when selecting the future manager at the end of the current campaign.
There are rumors circulating in the dressing room that Xabi Alonso, who is reportedly the front-runner for the position, may be their coach for the upcoming campaign.
The Chelsea team are in favor of the possible appointment because they think he would be the one to turn things around, according to The Times.
When they meet Manchester City at Wembley this weekend in the FA Cup final, those players will have an opportunity to make an impression on the new manager.
Many people think the position at Stamford Bridge is unattractive after a terrible season on and off the field, and it would be more than pleasant to be reminded of their recent history of winning trophies.
Xabi Alonso simply yells, “Chelsea manager.”
BlueCo can take a step back in football-related topics if he is brought in. Those who are familiar with the sport should handle that. BlueCo is committed to resolving the financial aspect. You’re skilled at that. Give up trying to perform things you’re not skilled at. Really, it’s simple.
Hasselbaink is merely trying to make headlines; therefore, if we listen to him, no manager will fit. Tell him to stop worrying about Leeds.
Positive conversations with Xabi Alonso
Based on how negotiations have progressed thus far, there will be optimism because many consider the former Real Madrid manager to be the ideal hire.
After talking with Alonso, Chelsea is sure that he would be receptive to the idea of taking over in West London.
Alonso pleased the club during the initial discussions, which seemed to put him ahead of the competition as the front-runner for the position.
Although interest in players like Marco Silva and Andoni Iraola has decreased recently, both are still scheduled to become free agents in the summer.
