Xabi Alonso emerges as top candidate for Chelsea head coach role

Xabi Alonso emerges as top candidate for Chelsea head coach role

Chelsea's management is eyeing Xabi Alonso as their new head coach to address the team's instability. Reports suggest the Spanish tactician may be open to the London club's offer. This would signal a major shift in transfer strategy, granting the manager more authority in squad building, according to Goal.com .

Currently, Chelsea's shortlist also includes candidates like Marco Silva and Andoni Iraola, but the BlueCo ownership group holds high confidence in Xabi Alonso. The club leadership appears to have decided to prioritize the coach's technical vision over the corporate structure, a move expected to be crucial in restoring the team's standing in the Premier League.

Former manager Enzo Maresca left the club after failing to reach an agreement with the board on transfer matters. Now, Chelsea's hierarchy aims to secure stars like Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer and return the team to the Champions League qualification race by hiring a world-class specialist.

Although Cesc Fabregas is popular among fans, he is expected to remain at Como. Consequently, Xabi Alonso, Marco Silva, and Andoni Iraola remain the primary contenders. If a deal is reached, significant squad changes and a new tactical style are expected at Chelsea during the summer transfer window.
