Chelsea fans are eagerly waiting on the club to appoint their next manager. After four rather disappointing years since the BlueCo takeover, the owners must know that they need to get this appointment right. They have had enough time to implement their ideas. It has not worked. In fact, it has failed miserably. Now, it is time for conventional football wisdom to prevail and for the best option to be brought in.<\/p>\n
To be fair, judging from the recent speculation, it does seem like things might be headed in that direction. Most Chelsea fans would like to see Xabi Alonso get the job. And for them, there is some good news.<\/p>\n
According to The Bluesfeed, multiple conversations have taken place with Alonso and his representatives. While nothing is decided, the Spanish manager is currently the leading candidate.<\/p>\n
Chelsea have also spoken to the entourages of other managers who are currently still at other clubs, but not directly to the individual out of respect for the current campaign. But there\u2019s a growing internal feeling that changes are needed to get the project back on track.<\/p>\n
There are two things about that update that will raise the hopes of Chelsea fans. First, of course, is that Alonso seems to be in pole position for the job.<\/p>\n
Other names like Andoni Iraola and Marco Silva have been suggested constantly by the media as well. But they simply do not have the gravity that someone like Alonso does.<\/p>\n
