"The Englishman was appointed as successor to Enzo Maresca, who was sacked on New Year's Day after a run of poor results, and a section of the Blues support were somewhat underwhelmed by the decision. Rosenior has never managed in the Premier League before and his last job in England ended with his sacking by Hull in 2024. Most recently, he has been managing in Ligue 1 at Strasbourg, a side under the same multi-club ownership as Chelsea."
"Poyet is a Blues legend Secondly, he has a great opportunity. I don't think you see too many situations like the one Liam is getting. To go from a mid-table team in France to a team like Chelsea albeit we know it's come through the link between the clubs. He needs to embrace that and then slowly start bringing his ideas to the team. Winning will be key though."
Liam Rosenior takes charge of his first Chelsea match amid fan skepticism after Enzo Maresca's sacking on New Year's Day following poor results. Rosenior's prior experience includes a 2024 exit from Hull and recent management at Strasbourg in Ligue 1 within the same multi-club ownership as Chelsea. Former Chelsea midfielder-turned-manager Gus Poyet says criticism is normal and that Rosenior has a rare high-profile opportunity to move from mid-table France to Chelsea. Poyet advises Rosenior to embrace the chance, gradually implement his ideas, and secure early victories to convince players. Availability of key personnel will be crucial for the Brentford game.
