Liam Rosenior Named Chelsea Head Coach, Promises High-Tempo Football

He will make his touchline debut in the FA Cup after Calum McFarlane oversees the Fulham match.

Overview

  • Rosenior signed a multi-year deal after moving from RC Strasbourg, which is also owned by the BlueCo consortium.
  • In his first interview, he vowed to win immediately while building for the long term and called Chelsea’s potential “scary.”
  • He set out a style built on high tempo, aggressive, front-foot play and urged supporters to expect intensity and a revitalized home atmosphere.
  • Rosenior will not manage at Fulham, with U21 coach Calum McFarlane leading that game before Rosenior’s expected first match against Charlton in the FA Cup.
  • He name-checked midfielder Andrey Santos from their time at Strasbourg and faces early transfer speculation around Strasbourg players, with reports linking Emmanuel Emegha for a summer move rather than January.
