US EditionLiam Rosenior "verbally agrees" to become next Chelsea boss
Liam Rosenior will bring his Strasbourg assistants to Chelsea and has agreed verbally to a long-term deal at the Club World Cup-winning club, owned by BlueCo.
- On Tuesday, Liam Rosenior confirmed he is leaving Strasbourg to become Chelsea Football Club head coach, succeeding Enzo Maresca after the latter's sacking last week, GIVEMESPORT senior correspondent Ben Jacobs reported.
- After Maresca was sacked last week, Chelsea Football Club identified Rosenior as the leading candidate and he spent Monday negotiating terms amid objectives in four competitions.
- He leaves Strasbourg, which is seventh in Ligue 1 after 17 games, matching last season's position, according to his coaching record at Derby and Hull City.
- Calum McFarlane, Chelsea under-21s head coach, will stay interim for Wednesday's Fulham visit, while three members of Liam Rosenior's Strasbourg team — Khalifa Cisse, Justin Walker, and Ben Warner — join Chelsea.
- The appointment positions Rosenior as a major step up in his third permanent managerial role at Chelsea Football Club, owned by Todd Boehly and Clearlake-led BlueCo, and recent Club World Cup champions, despite interest from other Champions League clubs.
