Former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin has urged the club’s owners to change their approach and fully support incoming manager Xabi Alonso. Nevin spoke after Chelsea’s disappointing 2025/26 season ended with a 10th-place finish.
Nevin said the owners must shift away from signing young players and instead provide Alonso with experienced talent from the start. He noted that Alonso does not need the job and could have waited for other opportunities such as at Liverpool.
Chelsea have made contact with Xabi Alonso to become their next head coach as they seek a permanent replacement for Liam Rosenior.
