Xabi Alonso Poised to Become Chelsea Manager After FA Cup Final

1 / 2

Chelsea appear set to confirm Xabi Alonso as their new permanent manager once the FA Cup final is over. Talks are expected to resume immediately after Saturday’s showpiece match. The 44-year-old Spaniard has emerged as the leading candidate at Stamford Bridge. He has moved ahead of other names such as Marco Silva, Andoni Iraola, Oliver Glasner and Filipe Luis. Since departing Real Madrid in January, Alonso has been in high demand. His mandate will be to steady a squad that has lacked consistency and to lead a critical summer transfer window aimed at returning the Blues to Champions League contention.
