Overview
- Chelsea confirmed Rosenior as head coach on a deal running to 2032 after talks in London and his farewell press conference in Strasbourg.
- Under-21s coach Calum McFarlane will lead Wednesday’s league trip to Fulham, before Rosenior takes charge against Charlton in the FA Cup.
- Rosenior said he will bring key Strasbourg staff to Cobham, including assistants Khalifa Cisse and Justin Walker and head of analysis Ben Warner.
- The move reflects BlueCo’s multi-club model, making Rosenior Chelsea’s fourth permanent manager since the consortium took control in 2022.
- His appointment follows Enzo Maresca’s New Year’s Day exit after tensions with club leadership, and Strasbourg have begun seeking a replacement.
