Xabi Alonso, who was appointed head coach of "Real" in the summer of 2025 and left the club in January 2026, is now the head coach of "Chelsea".
According to Lent.az, citing foreign media, the Spanish specialist said in a conversation with journalists: "I am very happy. Chelsea has a beautiful project; this was a great choice for me. We will have a strong team."

When asked about "Real", Alonso evaded the topic: "No, no. I won't talk about it."
After the question, he turned and walked away.
