It has been revealed that Chelsea discussed the Spaniard with Real Madrid before hiring Xabi Alonso, who is expected to be announced as Chelsea’s next permanent manager and start work on July 1.
After a fantastic time in Germany with Bayer Leverkusen and winning 24 of his 34 games as Real Madrid’s manager before being fired, Alonso is scheduled for his third term in senior management at Stamford Bridge.
Has Xabi Alonso built his Chelsea team on the correct TWO players?
Get Enzo out of here. I’m sick of seeing him shrug on the field and put up a mediocre effort. Garnacho, Palmer, and Neto ought to go too. Extremely ineffectual. Our goal should be to retain our top players. On his day, Enzo and Cucu are among them. All that worries me is whether Enzo is truly trying his hardest. In the FA Cup final, he performed poorly. Palmer, Caicedo, and Reece should also not be overlooked.
Since Liam Rosenior was fired a few weeks ago, many have been connected to Chelsea; however, Alonso has emerged as the front-runner to succeed him, and rumors started to circulate right after the FA Cup final loss.
Alonso will sign a four-year contract with Chelsea that will expire in the summer of 2030, which is two years shorter than Liam Rosenior’s contract. Alonso will now be a “manager” rather than a “head coach,” according to BlueCo.
Real Madrid gave Chelsea a “glowing reference.
Alonso, who was only four points behind Barcelona in the La Liga race, was fired by Real Madrid in January. Now that Barcelona has won the championship, Madrid is a staggering 14 points behind its opponents.
Alonso allegedly lost the dressing room after a falling out with Madrid’s greatest players. Although there were rumors, former Blues player Thibaut Courtois has now disputed that.
In the end, Alonso was thought to be the issue, but after a few months, it is obvious that the Spaniard was not at fault. The former Liverpool player has been enticed to London by Chelsea.
Chelsea actually queried “senior officials” at Valdebebas about Alonso, according to Sky Sports writer Kaveh Solhekol. Solhekol asserts that the Blues received a “glowing recommendation” about the manager.
“Chelsea doesn’t have any reservations regarding Alonso’s Madrid management background. Alonso won 24 of 34 games, giving him a win percentage of almost 70%. He received wonderful comments from senior Real Madrid figures.
When will Chelsea supporters see Xabi Alonso in the dugout for the first time?
As previously known, Alonso will take over as manager of Chelsea on July 1. Although an announcement is anticipated before the weekend ends, Alonso won’t really take office for six weeks.
Talk about how Xabi Alonso can finally bring success to the BlueCo era.
The first thing Xabi needs to understand is that because he signed with Chelsea, the British media and commentators won’t give him any leeway.
This job has turned into a poisoned chalice; therefore, I’m not sure if it will work! Xabi can succeed as long as BlueCo fulfills their commitment, which is ultimately what we all want—albeit for different reasons as fans than BlueCo. However, I still want Todd to acquire Egbhali.
Alonso will undoubtedly begin to have a voice in Chelsea’s internal affairs. The Blues’ first preseason game is scheduled for July 28. They will embark on a pre-season tour of both Australia and Asia.
Alonso will be on the touchline for the Blues’ match against Western Sydney Wanderers, despite the absence of their World Cup players. Chelsea currently has two Premier League games left.
