Chelsea Football Club has confirmed the appointment of Liam Rosenior as their new head coach on a five-year contract, effective immediately. This follows the late-night departure of Enzo Maresca. Rosenior arrives from the French club Strasbourg, where he gained significant praise for his tactical flexibility and his ability to integrate young players into the first team.

The London club’s board expressed that Rosenior’s vision aligns perfectly with their multi-club ownership model. His primary objective will be to stabilize the team's inconsistent form and push for a Top 4 finish in the Premier League. He is expected to lead his first training session at Cobham later this afternoon.

Critics are calling this a "high-risk, high-reward" move, as Rosenior lacks extensive experience at the very top level of English football. However, his success in Ligue 1 has convinced the Chelsea hierarchy that he is the right man to lead the next generation of Stamford Bridge talent.
