Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Xabi Alonso as Manager of the Men’s Team. The Spaniard will begin his role on July 1, 2026, having agreed a four-year contract at Stamford Bridge. Welcome to Chelsea, Xabi!

🚨 Liverpool remain adamant that Arne Slot is not about to be sacked, while there are claims that Xabi Alonso has expressed a preference to work with Chelsea’s squad in any case. 👀 (@Matt_Law_DT) #CFC

We're gonna win so much, you may even get tired of winning. And you'll say, please, please, it's too much winning. We can't take it anymore. Mr. Xabi Alonso, it's too much, and I will say no it isn't, we have to keep winning, we have to win more, we're gonna win more.

@CFCKaz6_ Ancelotti

Would Alonso to Chelsea be the first example of a player who played for a semi-rival managing the other team? I can’t think of any off the top of my head

@_oldvalyria No blackfyre

Swords that shaped the realm

@AbsoluteChelsea @BBCSport Terzić isn’t bad

Andoni Iraola, Marco Silva and Edin Terzic are under consideration as possible replacements for Liam Rosenior at #Chelsea. [via @BBCSport]

7 months at the top and they’re now acting like the underdogs…

@TouchlineX @JacobSteinberg We could tell

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Liam Rosenior lost all the support of the dressing room. — @JacobSteinberg

@PSGINT_ Didn’t you sign that racist as your manager the French guy

fuck chelsea and their new zionist owners Liam was NEVER good enough to coach chelsea but they gave him an offer he couldnt refuse Fuck Boehly and Fuck Eghbali

@SpectorMark @Chels_HQ @talkSPORT Cap why was lampard hired after Potter

@Chels_HQ @talkSPORT Not a surprise. These owners have blatantly removed & avoided anyone and anything related to Roman’s ownership. They inherited European Champions. Instead of embracing our history and culture, they neutered our club as if it were sex starved cat.

Andy Jacobs: "I've been told John Terry wanted to [take over until the end of the season], but they didn't want him. And they told him in no uncertain terms that he will never, ever get the job." (@talkSPORT)

🚨 Chelsea had included a break clause into Liam Rosenior contract and will not pay out full salary for next years, fee to be lower. Some players lost faith in the manager; change was seen as inevitable, results always come first despite support. 🎥➕ youtu.be/qJv5Lvtmkj8

Club statement: Liam Rosenior

🚨 BREAKING: Chelsea have decided to SACK Liam Rosenior with immediate effect. It’s OVER after 4 months, and 5 consecutive defeats with 0 goals scored. ❌

@TouchlineX Ya you need to go

🚨🗣️ Liam Rosenior: "Something needs to change drastically around here."

I owe Graham Potter an apology, I never thought someone could be worse

@ChelseaFC Enough is enough

Full-time. #CFC | #BHACHE
