Chelsea Head Coach Liam Rosenior Insists He Can Prove Himself as a Success
Liam Rosenior has vowed to prove himself as a success in his first game as Chelsea's new head coach, despite being a relatively inexperienced boss at the top level. The 41-year-old, who joins from Strasbourg with limited experience managing a top-flight club, says he never ruled out one day being in charge of the Blues, having initially been ridiculed by the media for his appointment.
Rosenior, who has managed just over 100 matches throughout his career, insists that he is "good at what I do" rather than arrogant. He claims to have a proven track record of success in various roles, including as an interim and assistant manager, and believes his experience working under the multi-club ownership of BlueCo's parent company will serve him well.
However, Rosenior acknowledges that there are challenges ahead for Chelsea, who have struggled to string together a winning run in their last nine Premier League matches. The team has slipped four points behind fourth place, and poor discipline has been a major issue, with seven red cards collected this season.
Despite these concerns, Rosenior remains confident that his team can achieve success under his leadership. He claims that the club's talent and professionalism are limitless, and that he wants to be successful but also acknowledges that it will take time.
Rosenior believes that winning the next game is key, rather than trying to set unrealistic expectations for a short period of time. "That's how you go on a run," he said. The former Hull City boss also emphasized the importance of staying calm and reacting positively in key moments, despite setbacks.
When asked about his approach to discipline, Rosenior argued that it is not possible to completely eliminate passion and emotion from the team. However, he vowed to strike a balance between enthusiasm and caution, ensuring that the players stay focused on the bigger picture rather than letting emotions get the better of them.
Rosenior's first game in charge will be at home to Brentford on January 17, and despite the challenges ahead, he remains optimistic about his team's potential. "We're not far away," he said. "It's making sure we know where our processes are headed."
