Chelsea have a new manager in charge, with Xabi Alonso set to take over this summer and hopefully lead the club to new success. Sky Sports have a long piece about the new Premier League appointments and what their new clubs are hoping they bring.

“Although they also had interest in Andoni Iraola and Marco Silva, Chelsea ultimately decided on Alonso after being very impressed with his character, integrity, discipline, emotional intelligence and leadership qualities, as well as his CV,” they conclude.
Well, that’s quite the list. Talk about setting the bar high. But if we’re getting vulnerable for a moment here – those are the same exact qualities we’re hoping he brings. We see all of those things in him – although things don’t always work out as they should.
