English Premier League club Chelsea is expected to announce former Spain midfielder Xabi Alonso as its new manager on Sunday, with the role taking effect from July 1.
‎
‎According to reports, Alonso will carry the title of ‘manager’ rather than head coach in recognition of his experience and track record, including leading Bayer Leverkusen to the Bundesliga title.
‎
‎Chelsea views Alonso as calm, tactical, and capable of improving the culture at Stamford Bridge. Club officials acknowledge that mistakes were made this season and say lessons have been learned from the appointment process.
‎
‎The objective remains returning the club to contention for major honours and securing a return to the Champions League.
‎
‎Alonso is expected to work closely with the sporting directors and owners on recruitment and squad planning.
