Chelsea Considers Coaching Alternatives to Succeed Rosenoir, with Alonso Among the Candidates
Monday 27-04-2026
Chelsea's management is quietly working to finalize one of its most important matters before the new season, while considering several prominent names for the coaching role, amid a transitional phase during which the club seeks to regain stability.

The British newspaper "The Telegraph" revealed that Chelsea is considering several coaching options in preparation for appointing a new permanent manager to replace coach Liam Rosenior.

According to the report, the list of candidates to coach Chelsea includes several prominent names, among them Marco Silva, Andoni Iraola, and Xabi Alonso, as the club seeks to choose the most suitable leader for the next phase.

The newspaper explained that Chelsea's management is still in the early stages of the search process, as no final decision has been made yet, with all available options still being evaluated before settling on a new coach.

The club is expected to make contact with the representatives of the candidate coaches to understand their future plans and how well they align with the club's project.

The mention of these names comes amid developments concerning each coach. Andoni Iraola announced his departure from Bournemouth at the end of the season, while Marco Silva has not yet renewed his contract with Fulham, and Xabi Alonso has become available after leaving Real Madrid.

Currently, Callum McFarlane is temporarily in charge of the team's technical leadership, having successfully led Chelsea to the FA Cup final, providing the team with a degree of relative stability despite recent upheavals.

The coaching staff has given the players a break until Thursday, following a tough week that saw a loss to Brighton and the dismissal of Rosinior, before securing a spot in the cup final.

Chelsea is preparing to face Nottingham Forest next Monday in the English Premier League, in an attempt to end the season positively, while simultaneously finalizing the new head coach's appointment.
