"Strasbourg boss Liam Rosenior is the leading candidate to succeed Enzo Maresca as Chelsea head coach, sources have told ESPN. The Blues parted company with Maresca on Thursday after what sources describe as a breakdown in relations between the Italian and senior figures at the club. Sources have told ESPN that Rosenior is the frontrunner in a small field with the 41-year-old impressing internally as Strasbourg is owned by BlueCo, the same investment company setup to complete the purchase of Chelsea in 2022."
"Chelsea remain firmly committed to their internal structure despite it becoming a source of irritation for Maresca. Sources have told ESPN that Maresca was at loggerheads with the club's medical department, which he felt had unnecessarily limited the minutes of some players. The Chelsea head coach also receives technical feedback after every game from a support team which includes five sporting directors and sources say Maresca wanted a stronger say in the running of the team."
Liam Rosenior is the leading candidate to succeed Enzo Maresca as Chelsea head coach. Chelsea parted company with Maresca after a breakdown in relations with senior club figures. Calum McFarlane will take charge at Manchester City on an interim basis and is not being considered for the permanent role. Rosenior is favored partly because Strasbourg is owned by BlueCo, the investment company that completed Chelsea's purchase in 2022. Roberto de Zerbi, Cesc Fabregas and Oliver Glasner have been ruled out. Maresca had clashes with the medical department over player minutes. The head coach position receives technical feedback from a support team including five sporting directors. Francesco Farioli has been linked with the role.
