Chelsea declined to appoint Andoni Iraola as their next manager amid concerns over the drastic difference in tactics between the newly appointed Liverpool boss and the previous Blues coaches, a report has revealed.
Enzo Maresca’s departure in January sent Chelsea into a spiral, with Liam Rosenior’s nightmare stint in charge culminating in a hunt for yet another new manager this summer. After talks with Iraola, the London team ultimately turned to Xabi Alonso, who will start work on July 1.
