Chelsea Weighs Xabi Alonso, Andoni Iraola and Marco Silva for Manager Role
Chelsea has identified Xabi Alonso, Andoni Iraola and Marco Silva as candidates for their next permanent manager after parting ways with Liam Rosenior. The club will take its time to vet each candidate, preferring experience at the top level. Interim coach Calum McFarlane will oversee first-team duties until a decision after the season. Marco Silva’s Fulham contract runs out this summer, and Andoni Iraola has confirmed his Bournemouth exit next month. Former Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso has been available since January. All three candidates have led their sides into European contention. Alonso’s résumé includes two Champions League titles as a player and a Bundesliga championship with Bayer Leverkusen in 2024.
