He expressed extreme happiness that the club secured a coach of his pedigree.

“Yes and yes, he’s a great player. He used to be a great player, and he knows football. What he did for Bayer Leverkusen was simply amazing because he had the control and the people in the board allowed him to do whatever he wanted.

“And he did it with cleverness and the guy is one of the smartest guys like Pep Guardiola as a coach. And if Chelsea wants to achieve something, they have to change their mind. They cannot be in the control of the pitch, but they can be in the control of the finances and everything going on in the office.

“But when it’s about the field, Xabi Alonso should be the only one in charge, and hopefully they’re gonna understand that. I’m very pleased that they picked Xabi Alonso. Congratulations to them, good call, I’m pretty sure Xabi Alonso will do very well if he has the control.”

Leboeuf made 144 appearances for Chelsea, winning two FA Cups, one League Cup, one Cup Winners’ Cup and one UEFA Super Cup. His time in the Premier League was the peak of his career and he is still very fond of the club who he helped to so much success.
