Liam Rosenior has emerged as the leading contender to take over as Chelsea head coach following the club's decision to part ways with Enzo Maresca, sources have told ESPN.
Chelsea confirmed Maresca's exit on Thursday, with sources indicating that the separation followed a deterioration in the Italian's relationship with senior figures at the club.
Strasbourg manager Rosenior is understood to be the frontrunner in what has been described as a narrow shortlist. The 41-year-old has made a strong impression behind the scenes, with Strasbourg owned by BlueCo - the same investment group that completed the takeover of Chelsea in 2022.
