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.
