Liam Rosenior has flown to London to finalise his expected appointment as Chelsea head coach. As BBC Sport reported on Thursday, Strasbourg boss Rosenior is the leading candidate to replace Enzo Maresca, who has left Stamford Bridge. BlueCo – the investment vehicle set up to purchase Chelsea in 2022 – has started the process of identifying candidates to replace Rosenior at sister club Strasbourg. Chelsea caretaker manager Calum McFarlane says "there's a chance" the new boss will be in place on Monday. Under-21s coach McFarlane stepped in after Maresca parted company with Chelsea following disagreements with leadership figures at the club.
