Chelsea has announced their new head coach, Liam Rosenior, who leaves Strasbourg to take charge of the Stamford Bridge until 2032. This comes less than a week after former boss Enzo Maresca left the Premier League side on New Year’s Day after a breakdown in relations with the club hierarchy.
The club welcomed the English manager and his six-and-a-half-year deal through its official account on social media. Meanwhile, the 41-year-old had already confirmed his arrival at Chelsea during his appearance at a Strasbourg press conference on Tuesday morning.
Rosenior stated that he was "ready" to take over the charge of the Blues. So, when will the former player make his debut as the manager of one of the biggest Premier League sides? Let us have a look.
When is Liam Rosenior’s debut as Chelsea’s new head coach?
Chelsea is set to face Fulham on Thursday, January 8, in the English Premier League. However, Rosenior will take charge of Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie at Championship side Charlton Athletic.
In the meantime, the upcoming match against Fulham will be managed by Callum McFarlane, who presided over a 1-1 draw at Manchester City on Sunday. They secured a stoppage-time equaliser from Enzo Fernandez. It has been reported that the new Chelsea boss will be in the stands watching Chelsea take on Fulham on Thursday.
Rosenior spent his Monday locked in negotiations with the Chelsea hierarchy as he was the leading candidate to succeed Marseca. Until he officially makes his debut as their manager, caretaker Calum McFarlane will remain in temporary charge.
