Xabi Alonso reaches agreement to manage Chelsea.

Chelsea are expected to announce their new head coach, Xabi Alonso, within the next 48 hours, after an agreement was reached between the parties following negotiations.

The Spanish manager will sign a four-year contract with Chelsea.

This news is a great boost for The Blues fans, as their team just lost to Man City in the FA Cup final, bringing to a close a disastrous season.

Xabi Alonso has agreed to join Chelsea, despite calls from many Liverpool fans for him to replace Arne Slot.

If officially appointed, Xabi Alonso would be the sixth manager under the BlueCo owner.

To convince the talented young manager, Chelsea's leadership promised to give Xabi Alonso more authority in transfer matters.

In addition, they also pledged to recruit more established stars to provide support for the current young players.

After considering a number of names such as Andoni Iraola, Marco Silva, Filipe Luis, etc., Chelsea's top brass decided on Xabi Alonso and wanted to announce his appointment as soon as possible.

Previously, Alonso led Bayer Leverkusen to an unbeaten Bundesliga title, the German Cup (DFB-Pokal), and reached the Europa League final.

He took up coaching at Real Madrid last summer. However, Xabi Alonso was sacked due to his inability to get along with several stars at Real Madrid, most notably Vinicius.
