Chelsea have stepped up their efforts to appoint Liam Rosenior, with talks intensifying as the club looks to line him up as a replacement for Enzo Maresca.
Rosenior is currently in charge at Strasbourg, and a clearer picture has now emerged over when any potential appointment could happen, with Chelsea working on a timeline that would allow the 40-year-old to make the move.
The former Hull City and Derby County coach has impressed in France, and Chelsea’s interest has grown as they weigh up their next steps. Discussions are understood to have moved forward, as the Premier League club consider Rosenior for the job.
Strasbourg’s situation is also central to the timing. Any change in the dugout would need to be handled carefully, with Chelsea aware that Rosenior is under contract and currently preparing for the coming campaign.
Chelsea’s focus remains on putting a plan in place quickly, and the latest developments indicate the club are pushing to establish a clear route to an appointment, should they decide to proceed with Rosenior as Maresca’s successor.
