Chelsea Football Club has officially appointed Spanish manager Xabi Alonso as their head coach, effective July 2026. This decision follows a challenging season for the club, which currently sits in 10th place in the English Premier League after the dismissal of previous coaches Enzo Maresca and Liam Rosenior. Alonso, a two-time UEFA Champions League winner, is expected to bring his experience and tactical acumen to the struggling team. Reactions from fans, particularly in Nigeria, have included skepticism regarding his ability to enhance the performance of players like Garnacho.
