Xabi Alonso agrees to join Chelsea as new head coach — reports | We Ain't Got No History Skip to main content A Chelsea CommunityWe Ain't Got No HistoryMay 17, 2026We Ain't Got No History The Feed Xabi Alonso has agreed to become the new head coach at Chelsea Football Club on a four-year contract, according to an exclusive from The Athletic’s David Ornstein, and in the minutes since echoed by many other reports as well. Chelsea were said to be hoping to move quickly to secure Alonso’s signing after the FA Cup final, and we certainly wasted no time in that regard. Barely an hour after the final whistle sounded on our latest Wembley defeat, the news broke. Would it have broken just as quickly had we won the Cup? Probably not. But hey, at least we’ve got something positive from this day after all.
