Chelsea slumped to a home defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest on Monday afternoon and supporters will be hoping that the club act swiftly and appropriately to bring the right man to Stamford Bridge.
Here, we look at the current state of the next Chelsea manager odds and Alonso is now clear favourite to be appointed at the helm before the start of next season.

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “Xabi Alonso’s rapid ascent to the top of the market for the Chelsea job has been one of the standout shifts we’ve seen in our manager markets this week.
“The sustained support for the Spaniard suggests he’s firmly on the club’s radar, and he’s surged into favouritism following Chelsea’s home defeat to Nottingham Forest on Monday.”
