Big claims made that “impressive” manager has already been interviewed by Chelsea | OneFootball

There are some big claims being made this afternoon regarding Chelsea’s priority manager target being interviewed for the role.

The vacant position that has been left by the sacking of Liam Rosenior has pulled up all sorts of rumours and stories since it happened, and the main linked target for the role is former Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso.

EXCLUSIVE! Xabi Alonso not making any major demands but emphasising importance of defence, talks progressing well – Chelsea throwing everything at it!

Most Chelsea fans would love this to happen and love Alonso to become their next head coach, but I think the majority are just not going to be sucked into it and are failing to believe it will ever happen.

However, Alonso HAS been interviewed for the role, according to a reliable journalist this lunchtime.

Laurens on Alonso

In quotes picked up by SPTC today, reliable reporter Julien Laurens says:

“They [Chelsea] have gone through the process of speaking to those managers [on the shortlist], not fully interviewing them, in the sense of, like there have been chats, and then some of them have presented already their project to the club, and what they would do, like Xabi Alonzo, for example, who apparently was quite impressive to the people that interviewed him.”

Alonso is being linked more and more with the Chelsea job recently, and one journalist is now saying he’s the “main target” for the Blues. It’s pretty clear Chelsea want him as the priority.

Alonso would have the authority to command a dressing room at Chelsea, a key ingredient for the new manager. This helps make him the standout candidate for the head coach role at Stamford Bridge.
