Liam Rosenior shares ambition for Chelsea

Chelsea new manager Liam Rosenior has shared his plan for the club as he takes over.

In his first message to Chelsea’s players as the new manager, Rosenior admitted he needs to “hit the ground running”.

Recall that the West London new manager was signed from their sister club Strasbourg in the French ligue on Tuesday to replace Enzo Maresca, who left Chelsea last week after reported conflict with the Blues’ hierarchy.

Rosenior earned applause for steering Strasbourg into the UEFA Conference League via a seventh place finish in Ligue 1 last season.

The 41-year-old, who signed a six-year contract with the Blues, had previously managed Hull before he was sacked after missing out on the Championship play-offs in 2024.

Rosenior, however, lacks top-level managerial experience, which has been used against him by critics.

Addressing the press before Chelsea match against Fulham on Wednesday, the new manager admitted that he is well aware he must produce results quickly to satisfy demanding owners.

“Super excited. I can’t wait. As a young man I have always wanted to be a coach, I’ve talked about it a lot,” Rosenior told Sky Sports.
