Liam Rosenior Flies to London for Chelsea Talks as Club Moves Toward Appointment

BlueCo’s shared ownership with Strasbourg requires a succession plan there before Chelsea can finalize the hire.

Overview

  • Rosenior has arrived in London for discussions over becoming Chelsea head coach, with a meeting scheduled for Monday, according to multiple reports.
  • Transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano says a formal interview is planned within 24 hours, with an unveiling targeted as soon as next week, though no official confirmation has been issued.
  • Chelsea continue under caretaker Calum McFarlane after a 1-1 draw at Manchester City, and it remains unclear whether a new manager will be in place for Wednesday’s trip to Fulham.
  • BlueCo delayed direct talks until Strasbourg completed Saturday’s match against Nice, reflecting the coordination needed between the sister clubs.
  • Strasbourg are preparing contingency plans, with Filipe Coelho and Jean-Marc Kuentz expected to take interim charge and former Wolves manager Gary O’Neil considered for the permanent role.
