LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Xabi Alonso’s name has already been linked to Chelsea, at various times, even before the former midfielder signed for Real Madrid. Now he’s once again become a strong candidate for the Blues’ helm. After all, he needs to rebuild after being sacked by Madrid, and the Stamford Bridge club needs to bounce back after a very poor year, with the shocking departure of Maresca and the slide with the arrival of Rosenior, who was also sacked.
According to “The Guardian,” discussions between the club and the Spaniard have been ongoing for some time, and everything is moving in the right direction. Furthermore, the news is that the dressing room has also spoken out, and, the English tabloid reports, there’s a strong belief among the players that Xabi Alonso could be the right man to bring the team back to the level Chelsea deserves.
While the former Bayer and Real Madrid player is the favorite, the club is said to be evaluating other names such as Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth), Marco Silva (Fulham), Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace), Filipe Luís (formerly of Flamengo) and Cesc Fàbregas, but the latter is determined to stay at Como.
