Follow usChelsea already discussed the manager position at the club with Andoni Iraola, as the Blues are looking for a permanent head coach. The Cherries manager already declined talks with another London club – Crystal Palace, and wants to lead a big team, while the team from Stamford Bridge is also considering Xabi Alonso and Marco Silva.
The Blues didn’t have any luck with the head coaching position lately as they already let go 2 permanent managers in the current campaign – Enzo Maresca and Liam Rosenior. That means the team from west London must look for a boss again, and they are considering Iraola, who led the Cherries very close to European football.
The Spaniard is represented by IDUB agency, under which agency is also Xabi Alonso, who is without a job after being fired by Real Madrid earlier this season.
Most likely, one between Alonso and Iraola will become the next head coach of Chelsea, as the Blues directors want even more Xabi, but it’s still unknown if the former Los Blancos boss is interested in the job opening at Stamford Bridge or will wait for the chance to become Liverpool head coach.
🚨 Xabi Alonso opens doors to Premier League move this summer after initial contacts with his agents.
Chelsea have a shortlist with candidates for the job and aware of his availability, same for Andoni Iraola who wants to continue in Premier League.
