"I don't think it's possible to ever be in this job and not be your own man, he said. People will see through you straight away. I will make the decisions at this football club. That's why I've been brought in. I understand. I know what's being said in the press. But there's no way you can be successful as a manager if you don't make the decisions for yourself."
"Rosenior, who has signed a six-and-a-half-year deal, is aware of the need to manage upwards. The 41-year-old has joined from Strasbourg, Chelsea's partner club, meaning he already has a good understanding of the requirements of his new role. Yet while Chelsea have a team of five sporting directors, give huge importance to the medical department's advice on load management and do not want a manager calling all the shots, Rosenior still believes his view on key decisions will carry significant weight."
Liam Rosenior takes over as Chelsea head coach and will manage his first match in the FA Cup third round at Charlton. The appointment follows Enzo Maresca's departure after a power battle with the club hierarchy. Rosenior signed a six-and-a-half-year deal and joins from Strasbourg, a Chelsea partner club, providing prior familiarity with the club's operational setup. Chelsea employ five sporting directors and place strong emphasis on medical advice for load management, limiting unilateral control. Rosenior intends to work within that framework while ensuring his views on key decisions carry significant weight and addressing discipline and expectations.
