Liam Rosenior confirmed as new Chelsea manager replacing Enzo Maresca
Chelsea fan leader says Rosenior is a decent coach – but 'not elite'
Liam Rosenior has been appointed as Chelsea's new head coach, succeeding Enzo Maresca who departed on New Year's Day.
Rosenior joins from French club Strasbourg, which is also owned by Chelsea's parent company BlueCo.
During his 18-month tenure at Strasbourg, he guided the team to the Conference League and leaves them seventh in Ligue 1.
Maresca's departure reportedly stemmed from a breakdown in his relationship with the Chelsea hierarchy, despite previous trophy wins.
Rosenior expressed his honour and commitment to fostering teamwork and a winning mentality, with his first matches including a London derby against Fulham.
