"Chelsea" players have stated their support for the appointment of Xabi Alonso as head coach. Negotiations between the London club and his representatives are progressing positively.
According to Idman.Biz, citing "The Guardian", the team considers the former "Real Madrid" and "Bayer Leverkusen" coach as the ideal candidate to bring the club back to the path of victory.
Players of the London club believe that the new coach should have undisputed authority in the locker room. With a glorious playing career and successful coaching achievements, Alonso meets this criterion.
Although no official agreement has been reached yet, Alonso is at the top of the list of candidates for the Chelsea board, which also includes Andoni Iraola, Marco Silva and Oliver Glasner. The appointment process is expected to accelerate after the FA Cup final. Alonso, in turn, wants certain guarantees, including having a say in the transfer policy. The club seems ready to accept this, recognizing his high status.
It should be noted that the Spanish specialist has been without a club since leaving Real Madrid in January 2026.
