Xabi Alonso. Legend status with Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid as a player. Wanted by all three clubs training after the huge success at Bayer Leverkusen with the historic Bundesliga title. Real Madrid have already had their Alonso tested, but this only lasted for seven months before the club and coach realized they were not on the “same page”. Liverpool still have their Slot, Bayern Munich loves their Kompany. So what does Alonso do?
After a failed assignment at Real Madrid, the still new coach is not ready to take a “Zidane vacation” that lasts for several years. Now it is reported that Alonso is getting ready to throw himself into the ring this summer.

The Spaniard went from Bayer Leverkusen with full power over games and players, where the squad followed every hint from its leader, to Real Madrid with a bunch of superegos who indirectly control the team and a club president who will have the last word on most things. We have seen the same thing at Chelsea.
When Xabi Alonso still opens the door for Chelsea, then the Spaniard sees something more. According to The Athletic and Sky Sports , Alonso is a top candidate for Chelsea management, where the Spaniard is also ready to enter into talks with the London club.

If Alonso looks at the history of the Chelsea owners dumping the coaches at short intervals and still pulling to Stamford Bridge, then the Spaniard has a plan worth trying out. We are more than happy to take a round with Alonso in the Premier League. Marc Cucurella complained that Chelsea have far too many inexperienced and young players in the squad to fight for titles, Alonso showed at Bayer Leverkusen that he is the coach who makes this “disadvantage” turn into a massive force of energy that causes opponents trouble.
For Chelsea supporters, this could be a very exciting development if Xabi Alonso takes over the reins.
