"I'm here because I care about this club [Strasbourg] and I felt it was right to answer your questions physically here today before I move on." Rosenior said Strasbourg first-team coach Kalifa Cisse, assistant head coach Justin Walker and head of analysis Ben Warner will join him at Chelsea. The former Fulham and Hull full-back has never managed in the Premier League but previously coached in the Championship with Derby County and the Tigers. He added: "I have had interest from many clubs, including Champions League clubs, which I have always been open with to [our president] Marc [Keller] and our ownership." Chelsea sit fifth in the Premier League before their game against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Wednesday (19:30 GMT).
