Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “Chelsea have made a statement appointment in bringing Xabi Alonso to Stamford Bridge, and punters clearly expect him to make an immediate impact.
“We’ve priced the Blues at 2/1 for a top four finish next season and 11/4 to lift at least one domestic trophy, which reflects the optimism around Alonso’s arrival.
“However, Chelsea’s managerial history means there’s always pressure attached to the role, and at 6/4 we think there’s every chance Alonso won’t still be in charge by the final day of the 2026/27 Premier League campaign.
“That said, we’re not ruling out an earlier collapse either, with the Spaniard priced at just 5/1 to leave before Christmas.”
