Xabi Alonso is Chelsea manager — and the title matters more than the signing. A four-year deal, and crucially "manager," not "head coach," for the first time since the BlueCo era began. We break down what the manager title actually means for recruitment and power at the club, the conflicting reports on how much control he really has, and why this is the biggest structural shift at Chelsea in years — not just another appointment.

And just like that, they drew me in again 😂
So this is what a high feels like in a toxic relationship… got it 😅
Remember psgs inexperienced young squad became a force because of the world class Luiz Enrique Now xabi must do his thing
Until i see that transfer window i ain't getting excited yet
"Just when I think I'm out..they pull me back in"
I had lost all hope, but Xabi Alonso get me hyped. I really hope he gets the players he wants.
The Xabi news made me forget bout the final ngl
A dagger to liverpool fans and a silver spoon to us man 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Cant wait for the new dynamic season .Blueco back him with everything give it your all and i guarantee u success
Stupid Liverpool board ffs lads... My Chelsea brothers, you guys have an excellent manager! Good luck and enjoy
I must be dreaming! Is this real?! I love this
Make a tactics vid nini on Alonso or a vid or players he mights bring in or players we should sell a type of video like that
the fact that they said manager instead of coach means they might have changed a few things and i hope am right about this
Now we look towards the transfer window
Don't care about all the negativity, this is a huge step. We were on the brink of losing our best players -- this may stop that. We were on the brink of losing most of our ability to attract more top players -- this should help with that.
Let's not get carried away and forget what's essential, because if Alonso doesn't have good defenders, a top goalkeeper, or a top striker, he won't work miracles. We have to give him control of the transfer market. There's Yildiz, Yan Diomande, and others waiting for us. We refused to go after Kvasskelia; look what he's doing at PSG. And Semenyo gave us a good lesson today. So, all these useless players, starting with Sanchez, Jorgensen, Delap, Garnacho, Gittens, Tosin, Disasi, Badiachile, to name just a few, we don't want them at CFC anymore.
Its about time we have decent manager fr
I hope Xabi put things in his contract that force the directors to give him the players he needs. To turn this team around.
it's not about the title, it's the actions they take next that matters
please for the love of god chelsea fans please GIVE HIM TIME this could be the most important signing under blue co and could be our jose moment, for us again
Let’s go!
