Liam Rosenior leads Chelsea shortlist after Enzo Maresca sacking

Chelsea have already begun internal discussions over their next managerial appointment following the sacking of Enzo Maresca, with RC Strasbourg head coach Liam Rosenior emerging as a leading candidate, according to reports.

Maresca’s dismissal has prompted Chelsea’s ownership to move quickly behind the scenes, and early talks have taken place internally as the club assesses potential successors. Rosenior is understood to be highly regarded within the multi-club structure operated by BlueCo, which also owns French side RC Strasbourg.

Sources indicate that Rosenior is seen as a strong option due to his progressive coaching style, tactical flexibility, and familiarity with the ownership’s long-term project. His work at Strasbourg has drawn praise, particularly for developing young players and implementing an attacking brand of football, traits that align with Chelsea’s current squad profile.

The shared ownership model is playing a key role in the decision-making process. With Rosenior under contract at Strasbourg, the French club has already started assessing potential replacements in the event Chelsea decide to formalise their interest and make a move.
