Chelsea make Liam Rosenior head coach after Enzo Maresca's abrupt departure

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.
