Spaniard Xabi Alonso has reached an agreement in principle on a four-year deal to become #Chelsea's next permanent manager.

The official appointment of the former Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen boss is expected in the coming days.

Chelsea, currently ninth in the Premier League table, have been looking for a new head coach after sacking Liam Rosenior in April after only three months in charge. Reports earlier this month indicated that Chelsea had started contacting prospective new managers, including Alonso, Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola, Fulham's Marco Silva and Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner.

As a player Alonso was celebrated as one of the best midfielders of his generation, his elite passing and vision led to major trophies with Liverpool, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Spain's national team.
