Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso said he could "write half a book" about his eventful first three months at the club, reflecting on a whirlwind start to his tenure during a press conference ahead of the Premier League match against Everton on October 30, 2026.
The Spaniard, who took charge at Stamford Bridge in late July, has overseen a busy period including transfer activity, tactical adjustments, and a demanding fixture list. Alonso's comments came as Chelsea prepare to face Everton at Goodison Park in the 2026/27 Premier League season.
Alonso's remarks highlight the intensity of his early months in English football's top flight, with the former Liverpool and Real Madrid midfielder adapting to the challenges of managing a top-six club.
