1 / 3

Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has welcomed the club’s decision to name Xabi Alonso as their new manager. Speaking on his podcast, Mikel said he’s pleased the owners heeded calls to move away from interim coaches. He believes Alonso’s strong personality and full squad control are exactly what the team needs. Chelsea must still secure Europa League qualification with a win over Sunderland on the final day. A European platform would give Alonso a solid foundation when he takes charge next season.
