Liam Rosenior appointed new Chelsea coach on 6-year deal

Chelsea have announced the appointment of Liam Rosenior as their new head coach on a six-and-a-half-year deal.

Chelsea announced Rosenior’s appointment via a statement on Tuesday.

Rosenior arrives from Ligue 1 side Strasbourg on a contract that runs until 2032.

The Premier League club stated: “Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Liam Rosenior as head coach of the men’s team.

“The Englishman has signed a contract with the club that will take him through to 2032.”

Speaking on his appointment, Rosenior said: “I am extremely humbled and honoured to be appointed Head Coach of Chelsea Football Club. This is a club with a unique spirit and a proud history of winning trophies.

“My job is to protect that identity and create a team that reflects these values in every game we play as we continue winning trophies.

Rosenior: I’ve agreed to become Chelsea manager

Rosenior will take charge of Saturday’s FA Cup third-round tie at Championship side Charlton Athletic.

Callum McFarlane, who presided over a 1-1 draw at Manchester City on Sunday, will oversee Wednesday’s Premier League game at Fulham.

Rosenior played for Bristol City, Fulham, Reading, Hull City, and Brighton during a 16-year playing career.

After hanging up his boots in 2018, he almost guided Hull to the Championship play-offs in 2024 and then became head coach of Strasbourg, who are owned by Chelsea’s parent company BlueCo.

The French club finished seventh in Ligue 1 last season.
