Chelsea confirmed on Tuesday the little-known Liam Rosenior will be their new head coach on a six-and-a-half-year deal, replacing Enzo Maresca.
The 41-year-old Englishman told a press conference earlier in the day at Ligue 1 club Strasbourg he had “verbally agreed” on the move to Stamford Bridge.
The Premier League club announced Rosenior had signed a deal until 2032.
“I am extremely humbled and honoured to be appointed head coach of Chelsea Football Club,” he said in a statement on Chelsea’s website.
