4-YEAR CONTRACT

Chelsea have reached an agreement in principle with Xabi Alonso, according to reports. The 44-year old technical man is expected to sign a 4-year contract with the London team. It is stated that the deal could become official in a short time and Alonso will start his new job before the season planning.

LONG TERM PROJECT

For Chelsea, this move is not just a change of manager. The Blues want to leave the recent instability behind with Xabi Alonso. This season, the Londoners have gone through the Enzo Maresca and Liam Rosenior eras, and despite the changes in manager, they have not been able to achieve the expected breakthrough. With Alonso’s arrival, the club will have a clearer football mind and a long-term project.

SEES HIM AS THE LEADER OF THE NEW ERA

Xabi Alonso is expected to be effectively in charge of not only the on-field organization at Chelsea but also transfer planning. According to reports in the English press, the Spanish coach will be given an important role in squad engineering and the summer transfer window. This detail reveals that Chelsea see Alonso as the leader of the new era rather than a short-term solution.

THE GOAL IS TO BE PERMANENT

Alonso had a big breakthrough in his coaching career with Bayer Leverkusen, leading the German team to the top of the Bundesliga and becoming one of the most remarkable young coaches in European football. Having played for giants such as Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich as a player, the Spaniard is aiming to make a lasting mark at the elite level in his coaching career.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are planning to return to the upper echelons of Premier League and European football with the Alonso move. The expectation at the London club is that the young and potential squad will become more balanced, more dominant and more competitive with Alonso’s understanding of the game. After the official announcement, the new era at Chelsea will officially begin.
