Chelsea dey face big decision wey fit define di BlueCo era. Di club must choose dia next manager well because after four seasons of wahala, di project dey collapse for front of our eyes.
Di squad wey dem assemble with over one billion pounds no fit even score goal now. Champions League qualification dey like dream wey far away. Recent reports say BlueCo dey accept dia mistakes and dey look to make changes. Many people think di project need complete restart, not just small adjustments.
Who Chelsea hire go tell us plenty about wetin BlueCo dey think. Di links with Andoni Iraola no dey sweet supporters. Iraola no don prove for highest level and im style no fit dis squad. Dem dey suit possession-based football wey Enzo Maresca wanted. While Maresca no go return, somebody with similar approach fit be good for di team. Like Xabi Alonso.
Joe Cole don show im preference for Chelsea next manager. And for many ways, e go be di most ambitious appointment di club fit make. Cole want Alonso for Stamford Bridge hot seat. E say: ‘I’d love to see Xabi Alonso at di club. I loved watching im Bayer Leverkusen team. I think e get hard done by at Real Madrid. E understand massive clubs. E be winner.’
Alonso don dey without club now, after Real Madrid sack am after 34 games. Interestingly, e win more dan 70 percent of im games for Los Blancos, and dem don only get worse since e leave. For my opinion, Alonso go be very good fit for dis Chelsea squad, if e get proper backing for summer.
Di Spaniard play possession-based game too, but e be more dan dat. Alonso football no dey based on just holding di ball. E want im teams to play forward passes and find frontline quick. Just look at how im Bayer Leverkusen team wey win Bundesliga against all expectations used to play.
Alonso time for Real Madrid no be great, but e still get all di makings of top manager. If BlueCo fit convince am to take di job, e fit be di perfect appointment. Di Spaniard go want plenty control more dan previous managers get. And for dis point, di ownership must yield.
