Chelsea have appointed Liam Rosenior as their new head coach on a six-year contract, continuing the club’s managerial reshuffle under BlueCo ownership following the departure of Enzo Maresca. “I am extremely humbled and honoured to be appointed head coach of Chelsea Football Club,” Rosenior said in a statement published on the club’s website. The former Hull City manager becomes Chelsea’s fourth permanent head coach since the consortium took control of the club in 2022. That year, he was appointed Hull City manager in the Championship but was dismissed after 18 months. Chelsea’s Under-21s coach, Calum McFarlane, oversaw the senior side’s 1–1 draw away at Manchester City on Sunday.
