Liam Rosenior is in official negotiations with Paris FC over a two-year contract to succeed Antoine Kombouaré as the club’s new head coach, according to multiple reports.
Negotiations are progressing well, with the main details of a potential extra one-year option still to be finalised ahead of a full agreement. Reports from Foot Mercato and Santi Aouna indicate that the deal is effectively on.
Background on the Move
Antoine Kombouaré, who guided Paris FC to a solid mid-table finish in Ligue 1 following promotion, is widely expected to depart the club despite having a contract until 2027. The veteran coach has been seeking an extension, but talks have reportedly stalled, prompting Paris FC to explore alternatives.
Rosenior, 41, emerges as the clear frontrunner for the role. The Englishman recently managed Chelsea and previously enjoyed a successful spell at RC Strasbourg, making him a familiar name in French football. His appointment would mark a return to Ligue 1 for the former defender-turned-coach.
Rosenior’s Profile
Liam Rosenior built his reputation through progressive, attacking football during his time at Hull City and Strasbourg. His brief stint at Chelsea showcased his tactical acumen, though it ended earlier this year. Paris FC view him as an ambitious choice capable of pushing the club toward European qualification spots in the coming seasons.
Club officials have already held talks with Rosenior, and the discussions are described as positive and advanced.
What’s Next?
Both parties are working to iron out the final contractual details, particularly regarding the optional third year. An official announcement from Paris FC is expected in the coming days, subject to the successful completion of negotiations.
