Liam Rosenior is set to complete the process of becoming Chelsea's new head coach after flying into London for talks with Blues officials. The 41-year-old, who currently manages Strasbourg in France, has been identified as the top contender to replace outgoing boss Enzo Maresca.
Rosenior's appointment comes at a time when Chelsea are struggling to find consistency in the Premier League, currently sitting fifth but out of title contention after a dismal December under Maresca. Despite this, Rosenior is confident that his team has "talent and character to be successful."
Chelsea caretaker manager Calum McFarlane has expressed optimism about Rosenior's potential, stating that he is likely to take over as boss by Monday at the latest. However, with talks at an advanced stage, it remains to be seen how quickly Rosenior will be formalized into the role.
Rosenior took charge of Strasbourg just a few days ago, leading his team to a 1-1 draw against Nice in their last match before flying to London. He is expected to face several challenges as he prepares to take on Chelsea, including navigating the complex dynamics between the club's American ownership and its sister club, Strasbourg.
Chelsea's recent performances have been impressive, with a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Manchester City providing a glimmer of hope for the title-chasing team. Despite this, Rosenior knows that he has his work cut out to transform the side and get them back on track.
With a grueling schedule ahead, including a trip to Fulham and an FA Cup third-round tie against Charlton, Rosenior will have to demonstrate his tactical acumen and leadership qualities if Chelsea are to make a serious push for silverware.
