Xabi Alonso excited by ‘beautiful project’ at Chelsea Xabi Alonso has called Chelsea a ‘beautiful project’ and has said he is excited to get to work at Stamford Bridge. Alonso has been appointed Chelsea manager on a four-year deal and will officially begin his reign in West London in July. The 44-year-old arrives having managed Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid in his career to date, leading the former to a first-ever Bundesliga title during the 2023/24 season.

He will arrive at Chelsea as a replacement for Liam Rosenior, tasked with reviving the club’s fortunes after a difficult campaign. Speaking to El Chiringuito TV , Alonso said he is relishing the challenge. Asked what attracted him to Chelsea, he said: “It’s a beautiful project.

I’m excited and ready to get to work. ” Alonso will arrive in London with uncertainty surrounding several key names. Chelsea’s failure to qualify for the Champions League has seen a number of top talents linked with moves away.

Enzo Fernandez, Joao Pedro and Marc Cucurella have all been linked with Spanish sides, but Alonso is confident Chelsea will build a side capable of challenging next season. “We’re going to make a good team,” he added.
