Despite having only three years of experience as a manager, and having never coached in the Premier League, Rosenior is on the cusp of taking on one of football’s hardest jobs. “It looks like I am going to be the next manager of that football club (Chelsea),” the Englishman said at a press conference at his present club, Ligue 1 side Strasbourg. Under-21s coach Calum McFarlane took charge of Chelsea for Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Manchester City and oversaw training on Monday.
