RC Strasbourg have officially moved quickly to appoint Gary O’Neil as their new head coach, confirming the Englishman as the replacement for Liam Rosenior, who has completed his move to Chelsea. The update was confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who delivered his trademark “Here We Go” on the deal, signalling that all agreements are now in place.
According to the report, Strasbourg have reached a full agreement with O’Neil on a long-term contract, marking a significant step in the club’s transition following Rosenior’s departure. The former Wolverhampton Wanderers and AFC Bournemouth manager takes over at the Ligue 1 side with immediate effect, as Strasbourg aim to maintain continuity in their sporting project.
Rosenior’s exit comes after he signed his contract with Chelsea earlier today, paving the way for Strasbourg to act decisively. With Chelsea accelerating plans to install Rosenior as their new head coach, Strasbourg were keen to avoid prolonged uncertainty and have now secured a proven Premier League tactician in O’Neil.
