LONDRA (INGHILTERRA) (ITALPRESS) – After the shock divorce from Enzo Maresca to New Year’s Eve, Chelsea announces the replacement on the day of Epiphany. No twist, with the choice of the Blues that fell on Liam Rosenior, 41-year-old emerging English technician who in the last year and a half showed up at Strasbourg.
After yesterday’s positive talks in London, Rosenior himself held a press conference in the French city in the morning to communicate his choice, and the office arrived in close mail: contract until 2032 for the former tertin that should debut directly Saturday in FA Cup with Charlton, leaving for tomorrow against Fulham the lights of the tipping still to the interim technician Calum McFarlane, already on Sunday bench with the City.
“I am extremely honored and flattered to have been appointed coach of Chelsea – the first words of Rosenior – It is a club with a unique spirit and a glorious history of trophies won. My task is to protect this identity and create a team that reflects these values in every game we play, continuing to win trophies. Being chosen for this role means everything to me and I want to thank everyone for the opportunity and trust you have shown. I’ll give everything myself to bring this club to the success it deserves. I deeply believe in teamwork, unity, being together and working for each other, and these values will be at the heart of everything we do. They will be the foundation of our success. There is hunger for victories and I will give everything, every single day, to help this team compete and win at the highest levels.”.
The fact that Strasbourg and Chelsea have the same property, the BlueCo that heads Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, has facilitated the arrival of Rosenior, who in Strasbourg did well (Seventh in Ligue 1 at his first season and qualifying in Europe while this year the team is already at the eighth of Conference after closing in the head of the League Phase) but that will be measured for the first time with the Premiernica League. For the young English technician is the occasion of life.
“I can’t refuse this opportunity to become part of an incredible club, with an incredible rose and that is world champion for club – he explained in Strasbourg a few hours before the formality – The last 18 months were the best time of my professional career, I will love this club for the rest of my life, but I can’t refuse Chelsea. I would never have accepted if I hadn’t felt ready and there are clubs you can’t say no to, I hope the fans of Strasbourg can understand it. I will also be able to stay closer to my children, I miss them,” said Rosenior, who will bring Kalifa Cissè, Justin Walker and Ben Warner with him.
