Chelsea are on the verge of appointing Liam Rosenior as their new head coach, with the Englishman arriving in London ahead of a formal interview that is expected to take place within the next 24 hours. The move comes just days after the Blues decided to part ways with Enzo Maresca, following an underwhelming spell that failed to meet the club’s expectations.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, all signs point towards Rosenior being confirmed as Chelsea’s next head coach next week, with final formalities now underway. The former Hull City and RC Strasbourg manager has emerged as the club’s top choice after internal discussions and background checks were completed swiftly.
Chelsea’s hierarchy acted decisively after Maresca’s dismissal, keen to avoid prolonged uncertainty ahead of the new season. Rosenior’s arrival in London is seen as a key step in the process, with confidence growing that an agreement is close.
Rosenior has earned plaudits in recent seasons for his progressive style of football, emphasis on youth development, and tactical flexibility, qualities that align with Chelsea’s current project under their ownership model.
