Chelsea Appoints Liam Rosenior From Strasbourg on Long-Term Deal

BlueCo’s shared ownership enabled a mid-season switch that heightens scrutiny of multi-club control.

Overview

  • Chelsea confirmed Liam Rosenior as head coach on a contract through 2032 shortly after he announced a verbal agreement at a Strasbourg press conference.
  • Rosenior said he was granted permission to speak with Chelsea and called the role an opportunity he could not refuse.
  • He will bring members of his Strasbourg staff to London, including assistant Kalifa Cissé.
  • Reaction has been critical, with many Chelsea fans citing his limited top‑level experience and Christophe Dugarry condemning Strasbourg’s management and the multi‑ownership model.
  • Strasbourg is searching for a replacement as Chelsea moves on from Enzo Maresca, with Rosenior set to start this week as Fulham in the league and Charlton in the FA Cup are on the schedule.
