Liam Rosenior is Ready to Join Chelsea as Head Coach After After His Farewell to Strasbourg

Liam Rosenior appeared to bid farewell to Strasbourg amid reports that he is expected to take over as Chelsea head coach.

“It’s a very beautiful city, with very beautiful people, a great club,” Rosenior said after Strasbourg’s 1-1 draw with Nice on Saturday.

“I loved everything. The players were incredible. I really want the best for this club. I don’t know if this is my last match. In life, you never know.”

At the same time, the 41-year-old was at pains to clarify that there is no agreement for him to join Chelsea yet: “There’s nothing concrete in these discussions. They’re just discussions. What will be, will be.

“Strasbourg is a fantastic club with fantastic people. I loved everything about it. I adored all the players. And the fans and everyone here.”

Rosenior has emerged early as a leading contender for the Chelsea job after Enzo Maresca parted with the club on Thursday.
