Wayne Rooney has "no doubts" Liam Rosenior, his former assistant at Derby County, could do a good job at Chelsea. Rosenior worked under former England captain Rooney at Pride Park in 2021 and 2022, and he became the interim Rams boss in League One after the Manchester United legend's departure. "He's taken chances, and hopefully that pays off because I think Liam is as good a coach as I've ever worked with," Rooney said on the BBC's Wayne Rooney Show. And I think he's done his apprenticeship, he's done his work to try and get to that job. "So I learned a lot from him from that point of view and then I think he's done a great job as a whole."
