Three candidates have emerged for the Chelsea manager position.

Chelsea are accelerating their search for a new head coach after sacking Liam Rosenior earlier in April.

Alonso is on Chelsea's radar.

Chelsea sacked Rosenior after a run of five consecutive defeats, during which they failed to score a single goal. Assistant Calum McFarlane is currently in charge until the end of the season. However, the club's management has already begun exploring potential candidates for the manager's job at Stamford Bridge.

According to British media, Chelsea have begun negotiations with Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola. The Spanish manager is highly regarded for his modern style and ability to improve the team. He will leave Dean Court this summer and has also been linked with a return to Athletic Bilbao.

Besides Iraola, Chelsea have also included Marco Silva of Fulham on their shortlist. The Portuguese manager's contract expires at the end of June, but he has yet to reach an agreement on an extension, leaving open the possibility of leaving Craven Cottage in the summer of 2026.

Another notable name is Xabi Alonso. Despite signing a three-year contract with Real Madrid last summer, Alonso was sacked in January. Notably, "Los Blancos" only paid him until the end of the season, meaning Chelsea are free to negotiate without major financial obstacles.

With the manager's job at Stamford Bridge still vacant, Chelsea faces a number of strategic options. The upcoming decision will shape the team's long-term future as it seeks to regain its position in the Premier League and European competitions.
