Liam Rosenior leads Chelsea managerial shortlist

Liam Rosenior has emerged as the leading candidate to become Chelsea’s next head coach following the departure of Enzo Maresca.

Sources indicate that Rosenior currently tops the club’s managerial shortlist, with initial internal discussions already taking place. The former defender is understood to be viewed as the preferred option as Chelsea consider their next appointment.

However, a move for Rosenior could affect other clubs, as RC Strasbourg, who share the same owners as Chelsea, would need to look for a replacement if Chelsea decide to appoint him.

Chelsea are yet to make a final decision as deliberations over the next head coach continue.
