Chelsea is looking to bring in a new manager, and they have identified Xabi Alonso as a target.
According to a report from The Guardian, Chelsea players believe the 44-year-old Spanish manager would be the ideal option to take over next season. The report further claims that Chelsea are already in talks, and discussions are heading in a positive direction.
It remains to be seen whether they can wrap up the move. They need to bring in a quality manager in the summer. The 44-year-old has shown his quality in Germany with Bayer Leverkusen, and he helped them win the league title.
Even though he was shown the door at Real Madrid, he did reasonably well with them. There is no doubt he has the pedigree to succeed in the Premier League.
Chelsea will be hoping to bounce back strongly after a disappointing season, and the right manager could bring out the best in their players. There is no doubt they have talented players at their disposal. They have underperformed this season and the need someone who can get the best o. Their current squad.
Alonso has also been linked with other clubs, such as Liverpool. It remains to be seen where he ends up eventually. The opportunity to manage Chelsea will be hard to turn down for him. They are among the biggest clubs in the world, and they have tremendous resources. He could put together a formidable team at the London club and help them fight for trophies next season.
The fact that he is already admired by the players will come as a huge boost to Chelsea and the manager.
