Chelsea have signed Liam Rosenior from French club Racing Strasbourg as their new head coach on a contract until 2032, the Premier League club said on Tuesday.
Rosenior, who led Strasbourg to European qualification in his first season, replaces Enzo Maresca who left the club on New Year’s day.
He becomes the fourth full-time head coach appointed since American Todd Boehly’s 2022 takeover.
“I am extremely humbled and honoured to be appointed head coach of Chelsea Football Club,” Rosenior, who leaves his post at French club Racing Strasbourg, said in a club statement.
“This is a club with a unique spirit and a proud history of winning trophies.”
