Chelsea have turned to former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso to take over as manager as The Blues aim to enter a new era.

Alonso takes over from Callum McFarlane following the Englishman’s short stint as interim boss. The Englishman oversaw Chelsea’s FA Cup Final against Manchester City, where he failed to get the Londoners over the line.

Since retiring from playing, Alonso has impressed hugely in the dugout. The Spaniard started his managerial career at Real Sociedad B, his boyhood club. In Alonso’s second season, the club won promotion to Spain’s second division following success in the play-offs. Following their first season in the second season, it was announced that Alonso would be leaving the club.

The former Bayern Munich player then took over at German rivals Bayer Leverkusen. In just his second season, he led the club to their first-ever Bundesliga title following a 5-0 win over Werder Bremen in April, 2024. He also guided Leverkusen to the UEFA Europa League final, where many expected his side to carry on their 51-match unbeaten record, a modern-day record. However, to the shock of many, Alonso’s side were beaten 3-0 by Italian side Atalanta.

Following his huge success in Germany, Alonso, who made 158 appearances for Real Madrid, returned to the Spanish capital to manage the Madridistas.

Managing the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior, Alonso gained a lot of valuable experience which he’ll be able to bring to Stamford Bridge.

Despite winning the La Liga manager of the season in his first month in charge, Alonso struggled to make an impact in Madrid, with him being relieved of his duties in January, 2026.

Chelsea finished the 2025/26 Premier League campaign in 10th place, just one point away from European qualification.

Alonso will be looking to take Chelsea to the summit of the table and qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

After a third-place finish in the Premier League last season, Manchester United will want to replicate that and also reach the latter stages of the UEFA Champions League.

The Red Devils will also have their eyes on the domestic cups. New permanent Head Coach Michael Carrick will be keen to etch his name into Manchester United history by lifting the FA Cup and Carabao Cup.

Former United midfielder Michael Carrick has now been confirmed to be permanent Head Coach after an impressive spell as interim boss.

Carrick, who made 316 appearances as a player for United, made an immediate impact on the playing squad by winning 12 of his first 17 matches in charge in the dugout.

Those results meant that the Red Devils finished on 71 points, 14 above the cut-off for the Champions League places.

He was part of the United squad that won the competition in Moscow in 2008, the last time the Manchester club lifted the trophy.

The current squad boasts some impressive talent. Assist king Bruno Fernandes surpassed the record of 20 set by Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry last season, setting up the likes of Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbuemo and Matheus Cunha.

Another new signing that impressed for United was goalkeeper Senne Lammens. The Belgian shot-stopper kept eight clean sheets in 32 appearances, making 79 saves throughout the campaign.

Overall, these two clubs have gone head to head in a competitive fixture in all competitions on a total of 189 occasions, and it is United who have the superior record of 85 victories compared with the Blues’ record of 57 overall. United has drawn with Chelsea on 57 occasions to date.
