Alonso to be unveiled at Stamford Bridge on Monday

[Getty Images] Chelsea's new manager Xabi Alonso will be speaking to the media at Stamford Bridge later on Monday. The 44-year-old, who is entering his second week as Blues boss, is also expected to take part in a photoshoot at the stadium following his news conference. It is standard procedure for Chelsea to formally present a new manager before the start of a season, but this appointment carries greater significance. The club's owners have previously acknowledged that their managerial appointments have not worked out as hoped. Last season, Enzo Maresca left the club midway through the campaign following approaches from Manchester City , while his successor, Liam Rosenior, failed to make a lasting impact. As is often the case with new appointments, there is enthusiasm about Alonso's arrival. However, questions remain about the wider project, and only sustained success and positive results on the pitch are likely to answer them. There are a lot of potential topics up for discussion - like his decision to join as a legendary former Liverpool player, his title being manager and not head coach and whether he can survive the managerial churn in west London. Some of his players, such as winger Alejandro Garnacho and defender Trevoh Chalobah, are up for sale or face uncertain futures. Midfielder Enzo Fernandez also known to be exploring his options to leave. Yet, it will be exciting to get to know a new manager going into a new campaign. Come back to this page later for all the key lines from Alonso and analysis of what the Spaniard has said.
