Ligue 1 and the Premier League are about to experience a small earthquake. A week after Enzo Maresca's departure, Chelsea has found a new coach in the French league.
Pending Chelsea's confirmation, Liam Rosenior just announced, this Tuesday morning at a press conference in Strasbourg, his departure from the Alsatian club to take the helm of the London giant.
A year and a half after his arrival on the Strasbourg bench, following two seasons at Hull City in the Championship, Rosenior (41 years old) will coach the first major club of his career.
The English coach thus joins Chelsea, the "parent company" of the BlueCo consortium, which also owns Strasbourg.
The transfer is controversial as it comes in the middle of the season and will undoubtedly reignite the debate around multi-ownership in football and its excesses.
The announcement of the scheduled transfer in the summer of 2026 of Emmanuel Emegha, captain of Strasbourg, to the same Chelsea, had already provoked the anger of the Racing Club de Strasbourg fan associations.
Rosenior is expected to take his place on the Blues' bench this weekend.
