"Chelsea began 2026 with a managerial departure, confirming on New Year's Day that they had parted company with Enzo Maresca after an 18-month stint in charge. The Italian won the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup during his time with the Blues and led them back into the Champions League, but this was not enough to paper over the cracks of his strained relationship with the club's hierarchy."
"Football was clearly in the blood and young Liam began his career at Bristol City, making his first-team debut in April 2002. A year later, he scored in the Robins' Football League Trophy final victory over Carlisle United at the Millennium Stadium and was soon snapped up by Premier League side Fulham in a 55,000 move. Rosenior would become a regular for the Cottagers and earned seven England U21s caps before joining Reading in 2007."
Enzo Maresca left Chelsea on New Year's Day after an 18-month stint as manager. He won the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup and led Chelsea back into the Champions League, but a strained relationship with the club's hierarchy undermined his position. Chelsea are searching for a new manager and appear close to appointing Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior. Rosenior was born in 1984 and is the son of former striker Leroy Rosenior. He began at Bristol City, scored in the Football League Trophy final, joined Fulham in a 55,000 move, earned seven England U21 caps, played for Reading, Hull and Brighton, and retired in 2018. He moved into punditry and coaching, joined Brighton's U23s, and later became part of Derby County's first-team staff, rising to assistant manager under Wayne Rooney.
