Chelsea make Liam Rosenior head coach after Enzo Maresca's abrupt departure
Liam Rosenior signs a six-year contract to lead Chelsea with a focus on youth development and possession football after Enzo Maresca’s departure amid poor form.
- On Tuesday, Chelsea appointed RC Strasbourg's Liam Rosenior as head coach, signing a six-year deal through 2032; he begins with Saturday's FA Cup trip to Charlton Athletic.
- After Maresca's departure on Thursday, the Chelsea board moved quickly, citing poor results, including just two wins in their last nine games, and strained relations as reasons for the change.
- Rosenior arrives with trusted coaches including Kalifa Cissé and Justin Walker, and Ben Warner will join the Cobham backroom team; he had barely managed 100 games across Strasbourg, Hull City, and Derby.
- U21 coach Calum McFarlane will be interim on Wednesday's Fulham derby before Rosenior takes over, tasked with steadying the ship and chasing Champions League qualification.
- Because of his ties to BlueCo, Rosenior was a leading candidate despite relative inexperience, yet the speeding conviction on Tuesday adds to scrutiny amid Chelsea's poor managerial job security under Todd Boehly.
