English Premier League side Chelsea confirmed the appointment of unheralded Liam Rosenior as their new head coach on a six-year deal, replacing Enzo Maresca.
The 41-year-old said earlier Tuesday during a farewell press conference at Ligue 1 club Strasbourg that he had verbally agreed on the move to Stamford Bridge. The move was rubber-stamped shortly afterwards.
I am extremely humbled and honoured to be appointed head coach of Chelsea Football Club, Rosenior said in a statement on Chelseas website.
