"Liam Rosenior's arrival at Chelsea offers him the chance to change the course of Premier League history for English managers and head coaches. Since the Premier League's inception almost 34 years ago, one of its great anomalies is that no English names have appeared on the managerial roll of honour as winners. Howard Wilkinson, now 82 and a long-time elder statesman of the game, was the last Englishman to lift the title with Leeds United in 1991-92,"
"Since then, 12 managers have led their team to Premier League triumph, but no English managers have claimed the coveted crown, the list dominated by proud Scot Sir Alex Ferguson's 13 wins and Catalan Pep Guardiola's six titles at Manchester City. Rosenior, 41, is only the fourth permanent English manager currently in the Premier League after moving from Strasbourg - joining Nottingham Forest's Sean Dyche, Newcastle United's Eddie Howe and Burnley boss Scott Parker."
Liam Rosenior joins Chelsea with the possibility of becoming the first English manager to win the Premier League since its 1992 inception. Howard Wilkinson was the last Englishman to lift the top-flight title in 1991-92 when the competition was the First Division. Twelve managers have won the Premier League era crown, with Sir Alex Ferguson (13) and Pep Guardiola (six) among the most successful. Rosenior is one of four permanent English managers currently in the Premier League, while overall English representation in managerial ranks lags behind other major European leagues.
