Chelsea are closing in on the appointment of Liam Rosenior as their new head coach, with a verbal agreement already in place and formal steps expected to be completed within the next 24 hours. The development was first reported by renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who confirmed that Rosenior is on the verge of taking charge at Stamford Bridge.
According to the report, Chelsea have reached an understanding with Rosenior, while RC Strasbourg, the club he is currently managing, are preparing to name his replacement imminently. This indicates that all parties involved are aligned, with only procedural formalities remaining before the deal is officially announced.
Rosenior’s potential arrival signals another bold and forward-looking move from Chelsea’s ownership, who continue to prioritize young, progressive coaches with a clear footballing philosophy.
During his time at Strasbourg, Rosenior has built a reputation as one of the most promising English coaches working abroad. His work in Ligue 1, particularly in implementing a possession-based system while maintaining defensive organisation, has attracted attention from several clubs across Europe. Chelsea, however, have moved decisively to secure his services.
