Rosenior announced this morning that he had “a verbal agreement” with the London club during the press conference at the Meinau stadium in Strasbourg. “An incredible opportunity like this cannot be refused,” he explained.
“It means a lot to me”

Sixth Chelsea manager of the BlueCo era
At Chelsea, Rosenior becomes the sixth permanent coach of the BlueCo era, which began in spring 2022, after Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter, Frank Lampard, Mauricio Pochettino and Enzo Maresca. His predecessor Italy left on New Year’s Day, when the team was slow in the league (one victory in seven matches) and tensions were appearing internally. Maresca won the modest Conference League in its first season, then the Club World Cup, beating Paris Saint-Germain in the final last summer.
The Côte de Rosenior climbed after a successful first 2024-2025 season in Strasbourg, securing seventh place in the French championship and securing European qualification in the process. In England, it is the former defender of Fulham, Reading and Brighton, who launched the main career of Hull City, in the Championship (2nd division). It’s not in the Premier League.
