In football’s managerial merry-go-round, Chelsea reportedly reached an agreement with Xabi Alonso to become the club’s next manager, according to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano. The appointment comes after a season described as one of the most disappointing in Chelsea’s modern history — missing out on European qualification and losing the FA Cup Final to Manchester City. The club cycled through Enzo Maresca, Liam Rosenior, and interim Callum McFarlane over the course of a single campaign. Alonso, who made his name coaching Bayer Leverkusen, represents yet another attempt to find stability at Stamford Bridge.
