The search for Enzo Maresca’s replacement is over. Liam Rosenior has been confirmed as the new Chelsea manager, transitioning from sister club Strasbourg. Rosenior, a former player, has experience with Hull City and Derby County. He faces a challenging schedule with commitments in the Premier League, League Cup, Champions League, and FA Cup in the upcoming month.
Although the appointment isn’t official yet, Rosenior has indicated he just needs to complete the paperwork.

Big Shoes to Fill
Maresca’s departure leaves Rosenior with high expectations after last season’s two trophy wins and securing Champions League qualification. Pressure will mount quickly if results don’t improve in cups or the league, as fans have grown accustomed to success and exciting European nights at Stamford Bridge.
Rosenior must address the recent performance with only one league win in six matches. He will need to familiarize himself with the squad and find the best ways to utilize his players. This is the challenge of a high-profile role: managing a talented team while delivering consistent results, even amid difficulties.
Who is Liam Rosenior
After a brief period at Derby, Rosenior’s primary experience comes from Hull City, where he narrowly missed the playoffs in 2024 and was unexpectedly dismissed the following year. He then joined Strasbourg after Patrick Vieira’s departure and has been with the club since.
Rosenior has won 31 of his 62 matches in charge of the Ligue 1 team, finishing seventh in his debut season. Despite a strong start this current season, the team has slipped back to seventh as they struggle to manage both the UEFA Conference League and domestic competitions.
