Chelsea have appointed Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior as their new head coach.
The 41-year-old Englishman has signed a six-and-a-half-year contract running until 2032, replacing Enzo Maresca, who left the club on New Year’s Day.
Rosenior confirmed earlier on Tuesday, during what became his final press conference as Strasbourg manager, that he had verbally agreed to take over at Stamford Bridge.
Strasbourg are part of the BlueCo multi-club ownership group controlled by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, which also owns Chelsea.
Rosenior was appointed by Strasbourg in July 2024 and led the French side to a seventh-place finish in Ligue 1 last season, securing European football for the club for the first time in eight years. Strasbourg are currently seventh in Ligue 1 and top of their UEFA Europa Conference League group.
