""When I went in at Strasbourg I was a joke in the media and they said that my team would finish last," said Rosenior. "I was a nobody from England and we finished three points off the Champions League places. The noise is just noise. "I am not promising it - but I believe strongly we can be very successful here.""
"but he rejected suggestions he has been hired to toe the line of his superiors. "I don't think it is possible to be in this job and not be your own man," added Rosenior. "I understand, I am not an alien and I know what is being said in the press, but there is no way you can be a manager if you don't make the decisions for yourself.""
Liam Rosenior signed a contract with Chelsea until 2032 and held his first news conference ahead of an FA Cup tie at Charlton. He described the club's potential as "limitless" and said he will ignore external noise while aiming for success. Rosenior returns to the Premier League after managing Hull City and Strasbourg, where he achieved a seventh-place Ligue 1 finish and European qualification. He rejected suggestions he was hired to follow ownership directives, insisting a manager must make his own decisions. Chelsea sit eighth in the Premier League after a five-match winless run but remain active in three cup competitions.
