Liam Rosenior
January 2026
Chelsea are assessing successors and have been linked with Strasbourg head coach Liam Rosenior as a surprise candidate. Reports say his profile and work with young squads appeals, after Chelsea won only once in seven league matches and tension rose around comments on backing. Sources claim owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali were angered by Maresca publicly questioning support, and viewed it as undermining club leadership. Even before the dismissal, internal credit was said to be fading despite last season’s trophies and Champions League place.
