A number of managers are being mentioned in pretty concrete terms as candidates for the Chelsea job this summer. Marco Silva, Andoni Iraola and Oliver Glasner are all realistic names who have been mentioned.

But if you ask our fans, other names are higher on the list. Xabi Alonso is the dream option of many fans, and our writer Simon Phillips has an exclusive on his status.

“SPTC Sources can now reveal that the initial response from Alonso’s people is that the former Real Madrid boss would be ‘interested’ in the vacant position,” Phillips writes.

But Alonso “would want ‘a bit more control’ than what they are currently offering any new manager,” it seems.

Chelsea in a sticky situation in manager search

Chelsea are in a tricky situation with all these candidates. None of the big names are going to take the job on the terms they’re offering right now. But they’re tried pliable younger coaches and the players simply aren’t having them.

They’ve really painted themselves into a corner.
