"Rosenior took charge of Strasbourg's 0-0 draw away at Nice on Saturday and claimed after the game that he was yet to discuss the move with Chelsea. Those talks are now expected to accelerate with Rosenior the club's preferred candidate. Strasbourg's position within the same ownership group -- BlueCo completed their takeover of the Blues in 2022 -- is set to make the process smoother. Rosenior flew to London with Strasbourg president Marc Keller and sporting director David Weir."
""We're training tomorrow," he said. "Unless I'm told otherwise this evening, I'll be taking that session. My sole focus has obviously been on this game, the challenge that this is. But until I'm told otherwise, I'll lead the team so for this moment, I am taking the team tomorrow. "When I first took the job, I was told I would take the Manchester City game so that was three days with the group. There's a chance that the new manager would be in on Monday, that's what I was told originally."
Liam Rosenior arrived in London after taking charge of Strasbourg's 0-0 draw at Nice and is Chelsea's preferred candidate for head coach. Strasbourg shares the same BlueCo ownership as Chelsea, which could smooth negotiations. Rosenior travelled with Strasbourg president Marc Keller and sporting director David Weir. No deal is finalised but talks are expected to accelerate and a formal announcement may come within days, possibly before Wednesday's match at Fulham. Chelsea parted company with Enzo Maresca, and under-21s boss Calum McFarlane led the team to a 1-1 draw at Manchester City. Enzo Fernández scored a 94th-minute equaliser after Tijjani Reijnders' first-half opener. McFarlane said he would take the next training session until told otherwise.
