Chelsea want a manager with experience at the highest level. Alonso is highly regarded because of his playing career and his managerial record at Bayer Leverkusen. There is also a general feeling that he wasn't given enough time at Real Madrid and he would have been successful if he had kept his job. Chelsea are focusing on the FA Cup final but work is going on in the background involving their sporting directors and the representatives of the managers they are targeting. #premierleague #football #chelsea MMA: https://bit.ly/SkySportsMMA Netball: https://bit.ly/SkySportsNetball NFL: https://bit.ly/SkySportsNFL Rugby League: https://bit.ly/SkySportsRugbyLeague Rugby Union: https://bit.ly/SkySportsRugbyUnion Tennis: https://bit.ly/SkySportsTennis More from Sky Sports on YouTube: ► Sky Sports: http://bit.ly/SkySportsSub ► Sky Sports Boxing: http://bit.ly/SSBoxingSub ► Sky Sports Cricket: http://bit.ly/SubscribeSkyCricket ► Sky Sports Darts: https://bit.ly/SubSkySportsDarts ► Sky Sports Football: http://bit.ly/SSFootballSub ► Sky Sports F1: http://bit.ly/SubscribeSkyF1 ► Sky Sports Golf: https://bit.ly/SubscribeSkySportsGolf ► Sky Sports News: http://bit.ly/SkySportsNewsSub ► Sky Sports Premier League: https://bit.ly/SubscribeSkySportsPL ► Sky Sports Retro: http://bit.ly/SkySportsRetroSub ► Sky Sports WSL: https://bit.ly/SubscribeSkySportsWSL ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skysports ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skysports/ ► TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skysports ► X: https://x.com/skysports ►Website: https://www.skysports.com ► To enquire about licensing Sky Sports content, you can find out more here: https://www.skysports.com/more-sports/news/31754/11434270/license-sky-sports-footage
