Rosenior Takes Charge at Chelsea With Mandate to Deliver Immediate Turnaround

The former Strasbourg coach opens with an FA Cup trip to Charlton after watching a 2-1 defeat at Fulham that highlighted a slide to eighth.

Overview

  • Rosenior joined from Racing Strasbourg on Tuesday and will lead his first match on Saturday at Charlton in the FA Cup.
  • He told the squad his focus is on being a "winning Chelsea manager" and that they must hit the ground running.
  • From the stands he saw a 2-1 loss at Fulham that left Chelsea with one win in nine league games and down in eighth place.
  • Marc Cucurella was sent off, Liam Delap scored his first Premier League goal, and Harry Wilson netted Fulham’s winner.
  • Rosenior said Enzo Maresca’s tactical base remains useful as he prioritizes energy, resilience and teamwork during a stretch of 10 games in 31 days.
