Strasbourg’s Liam Rosenior Dismisses Chelsea Manager Speculation

Strasbourg’s head coach, Liam Rosenior, has distanced himself from speculation linking him to the Chelsea managerial position.

Favorable Candidate for Chelsea

Following the departure of Enzo Maresca from Chelsea, Rosenior has emerged as a leading candidate for the role.

Rosenior’s association with both Chelsea and Strasbourg, both under BlueCo ownership, positions him as a likely replacement for Maresca, especially considering his commendable performance with the Ligue 1 side over the last year and a half.

Focused on Current Responsibilities

Ahead of their upcoming match against Nice, Rosenior addressed questions regarding the Chelsea rumors. He emphasized, “I’m here to discuss Nice because that’s my responsibility.”

He further added, “There’s a lot of chatter and speculation surrounding this, but as a coach, engaging with it could lead to failure. My commitment is to this club, and I cherish my role here.”

Commitment to Strasbourg

Rosenior clarified, “No, I haven’t discussed these rumors with the players. There hasn’t been any need for that; they are aware, and we’ve shared a few light-hearted moments. Our priority remains our work here. We aim to build something wonderful together.”

He continued, “Life offers no guarantees. The future is uncertain, and I’m focused on executing my duties. While speculation exists, I cannot assure how long I will remain here, though I genuinely enjoy my work and will continue to do so for as long as I’m at Strasbourg. My connection with this club is strong, but I cannot promise anything—nobody can.”

Rosenior concluded with, “I aim to focus on my role here, that’s straightforward. The current reality is that I’m the manager of Strasbourg, and I’m dedicated to my position.”

He added, “There are interactions because we share the same ownership group. I’m candid about this; one can never predict everything in life. I might declare my intention to stay long-term, yet circumstances can change.”
