Thunderbolt in the Premier League!

Chelsea officially announced this Sunday morning that Xabi Alonso will take over as head coach starting next season!

The former Anfield darling thus becomes the new main man of the Blues.
Five months after leaving Real Madrid “by mutual agreement,” the 2010 World Cup winner is bouncing back on the London bench. He has signed a four-year contract.
By sacking Liam Rosenior, Chelsea’s directors had promised to carry out a meticulous process in order to find a long-term solution.
The BlueCo consortium managed to convince one of Europe’s most sought-after coaches, Xabi Alonso, despite his recent failure at Real Madrid.
It remains to be seen whether Alonso will have the time — and the freedom — to implement his playing philosophy at Stamford Bridge, as well as decision-making power over recruitment.
The Spaniard will officially take up his duties from July 1.
