Chelsea have been looking for a new manager after Liam Rosenior was sacked in April after only three months in charge, and the former Real Madrid boss was the number one target to take over at Stamford Bridge. The other candidates Sky Sports News knew Chelsea were interested in were Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola and Fulham head coach Marco Silva. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner, Como's Cesc Fabregas and ex-Flamengo boss Felipe Luis were other names being considered. #football #premierleague #chelsea MMA: https://bit.ly/SkySportsMMA Netball: https://bit.ly/SkySportsNetball NFL: https://bit.ly/SkySportsNFL Rugby League: https://bit.ly/SkySportsRugbyLeague Rugby Union: https://bit.ly/SkySportsRugbyUnion Tennis: https://bit.ly/SkySportsTennis More from Sky Sports on YouTube: ► Sky Sports: http://bit.ly/SkySportsSub ► Sky Sports Boxing: http://bit.ly/SSBoxingSub ► Sky Sports Cricket: http://bit.ly/SubscribeSkyCricket ► Sky Sports Darts: https://bit.ly/SubSkySportsDarts ► Sky Sports Football: http://bit.ly/SSFootballSub ► Sky Sports F1: http://bit.ly/SubscribeSkyF1 ► Sky Sports Golf: https://bit.ly/SubscribeSkySportsGolf ► Sky Sports News: http://bit.ly/SkySportsNewsSub ► Sky Sports Premier League: https://bit.ly/SubscribeSkySportsPL ► Sky Sports Retro: http://bit.ly/SkySportsRetroSub ► Sky Sports WSL: https://bit.ly/SubscribeSkySportsWSL ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skysports ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skysports/ ► TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skysports ► X: https://x.com/skysports ►Website: https://www.skysports.com ► To enquire about licensing Sky Sports content, you can find out more here: https://www.skysports.com/more-sports/news/31754/11434270/license-sky-sports-footage

Unreal fumble from Liverpool
Kaveh is the king of speaking endlessly without saying anything.
Finally, he's the best choice of any available managers. Doesn't matter if he doesn't have experience managing in the Premier league, he has managed Madrid and won the Bundes Liga, that's more than enough experience
No more kittens and karnachos. I want to see serious signings
I’m actually stunned we got him
Most important issue is they have given him the Manager title! Not head coach! Which means he makes the decisions! This could be dangerous for everyone in the league!
I hope we don't we don't qualify for Europe, lets repeat the Conte season again 🎉
this could be Liverpool's biggest mistake in years
Pep,Antonio Conte, Mourinho, Anne Slot, Jurgen Klopp all didn't have a premier league experience yet they won the league so in my opinion I think this reasoning of lacking pl experience is out of order
I have a feeling he could do well at Chelsea.
It is a tricky appointment for us, though Alonso is a good coach. Still Blueco/Clearlake out for the shambolic season
As an Arsenal fan, Alonso at Chelsea is a bit worrying. Could be a good fit
Anyone else realising kav just reads twitter and “reports” it on sky news?
Chelsea fan from south africa. Awesome news. Awesome. Xabi alonso is good manager. Big statement 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Sell both keepers, dasasi, Tosin, Fofana, Badiashli, Garnacho, Gittens, and Delap, and buy 4/5 quality and experience to challenge for the league. A top keeper, two top central defenders with experience, a left winger, and retained Jackson to compete with JP or get someone. Exciting time ahead, I believe, with Alonso.
First time since the new owners have come in that they hire a manager I want at Chelsea.
The bar for managers at Chelsea has gone up levels with this appointment. May it never drop below this again.
Owners need changing
Amazed that Liverpool are gonna struggle on with Slot and didn't snipe us on this one. Alonso is a phenomenal appointment assuming he gets the control over recruitment he will need. Let the club continue to sign the kids if they want but let Alonso sign some ready made starting 11 players.
Just hope they'll go that way adding good players
