Strasbourg coach Liam Rosenior has confirmed he is set to be appointed as the new manager of Chelsea. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, his move to Stamford Bridge is a massive honour he simply could not refuse, and the allure of managing a big club was simply impossible to turn down.
Rosenior added that his desperate desire to return home to his family also played a pivotal role in his decision to accept the offer.
His words, “I was fully focused on Strasbourg’s last match but what has happened since is I have been given permission – one of the biggest clubs in the world – who are Club World Cup champions.
It is an honour to speak to a club like that and on this day it looks like I will be the manager of that football club.
It’s an unbelievable opportunity at an incredible club, the world champions, and one I just couldn’t turn down. And I can go home, and see my kids. I have made a sacrifice being away from them.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
