Chelsea eye three ‘top-level’ managers to replace Liam Rosenior

Chelsea are evaluating several options as they seek to appoint a new manager this summer, replacing Liam Rosenior.

Andoni Iraola, Marco Silva and Xabi Alonso are among the managers on their shortlist, according to The Telegraph.

Iraola will leave Bournemouth at the end of the season after the expiration of his contract. Silva has yet to sign a new deal at Fulham and Alonso has been out of work since his sacking by Real Madrid.

Chelsea will reportedly contact their representatives to know whether they will be open to joining the club.

They are aiming to appoint a manager with top-level experience, explaining why Iraola, Alonso and Silva are under consideration.

Iraola and Silva have Premier League experience, impressing at Bournemouth and Fulham respectively, despite financial constraints.

Alonso guided Bayern Leverkusen to their first-ever Bundesliga title, with a young squad similar to Chelsea’s. However, that was followed by an unconvincing stint at Real Madrid.
