Chelsea have officially appointed Spaniard Xabi Alonso as head coach on a four-year contract running until the summer of 2030, with his duties set to begin in July.
The appointment follows a turbulent season for the London club, with hopes that Alonso can bring fresh stability after his previous coaching spells in Spain and Germany.
The move is official, and attention now turns to how the Spaniard will shape Chelsea's project ahead of the new campaign.
