REVEALED: LIAM ROSENIOR’S "DUCKING" STRATEGY WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE STAMFORD BRIDGE ROLE
Liam Rosenior breaks his silence on the vacant Chelsea manager job. Read why the Strasbourg boss won't commit to his future in France.
With rumors flying about Liam Rosenior potentially replacing Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge, he has finally spoken up about the now open Chelsea job. The club said on Thursday that Maresca was leaving, just two days after their 2-2 draw with AFC Bournemouth.
Maresca got the team into the Club World Cup and Conference League during his first season, and he also got them back into the Champions League. Rosenior is now a possible replacement for the Italian, thanks to his good work at Strasbourg, which is also owned by BlueCo.
Sources say that the 41-year-old has impressed the people in charge at Chelsea during his time in France. Last season, the former Hull City coach guided Strasbourg to the Conference League with a team of good young players.
Rosenior has often led his team to big wins against Paris Saint-Germain, Olympique Lyonnais, and Marseille. It's not clear yet if he will be named as Maresca's permanent successor.
On Friday, Rosenior spoke to the media in France before Strasbourg's Ligue 1 game against OGC Nice. The 41-year-old avoided questions about a move to London, saying, I'm going to talk about Nice because that's what I'm here to do.
He added, There's a lot of talk, a lot of guesses, but if a coach pays attention to that, they won't succeed. My job is here, and I like this club.
No, I haven't talked to the players about it. There's no need; they're connected, and I've made a few jokes. But we've been focused on our work. The goal is to keep doing great things here.
In life, nothing is certain. You never know what will happen tomorrow. I'm just doing my job. There's been talk already. I don't want to promise how long I'll be here, but I enjoy being here every day. I plan to keep doing that while I'm here. I love this club, but I can't promise anything. No one can.
Rosenior also said, I want to do my job here; it's that simple. Right now, I'm the manager of Strasbourg, and I'm focused on my job.
"We talk because we're part of the same group," he admitted. I'm being honest; you can't control everything in life. I could say I'm going to stay here for years and then get fired.
However, if he gets the job, Rosenior has shared his thoughts on Chelsea's past way of treating managers and what it takes to do well at the club, according to Football London.
In 2019, Rosenior appeared on Sky Sports' 'The Debate' and made it clear what he would need to take over a club like Chelsea. He said that managers need time to make their vision happen and that constantly firing them doesn't help.
We talk about Antonio Conte's frustration with transfers and getting the players he wants to play the way he wants, he said.
He was very open about his frustration at the time. Now you bring in another manager [Maurizio Sarri] with a completely different style. Are you going to support him? Or will it be another case of, 'It's not working; let's get the next manager'?
Another manager comes in and wants this player and that player. It's not going to work that way. There will be a time when you have to go through some tough times to achieve success in the long run.
It's very difficult. The Chelsea board needs to decide, 'Is this the guy we're going to support for the long term?' Supporting the board isn't just about the transfer budget.
The club's history shows that if things go wrong and not as we want, we change the manager. That puts pressure on Sarri. For me, there comes a point where you say, 'That's our manager for the next two years, and we hired him to build something.'
Right now, Chelsea are behind Manchester City and Liverpool. So what do you expect them to do?
He said this while Roman Abramovich owned the club. The Russian sold the team to Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital in May 2022 for a huge £4.25 billion, but the quick changes in managers have continued.
Thomas Tuchel was in charge when the takeover happened, but he was fired early in the 2022/23 season. Graham Potter's time lasted less than seven months before Frank Lampard filled in temporarily.
Mauricio Pochettino was in charge at Chelsea for only one season, and Maresca's one-and-a-half-year stay is the longest under the current owners. The Italian was hired after just one season at Leicester City.
BRUNO SALTOR OFFICIALLY JOINS TOTTENHAM AS ASSISTANT COACH FOR THE NORTH LONDON DERBY
Tottenham appoints Bruno Saltor! Discover the new coaching team under Igor Tudor and the departures following Thomas Frank's exit.
Tottenham Hotspur just shook up their coaching staff, bringing in Bruno Saltor, a guy who’s worked with Chelsea and West Ham in the past.
Saltor’s stepping in alongside interim boss Igor Tudor until the season wraps up. Spurs let go of Thomas Frank earlier this month, and, like Manchester United, they’ve decided to go with a temporary setup for now and figure out the bigger picture in the summer.
Tudor, who’s managed clubs like Marseille, Lazio, and Juventus, is set to take charge for the first time this weekend in the North London derby against Arsenal. Saltor will be in the dugout for his first Spurs match, too.
If you’ve followed Saltor’s career, you might know he’s often worked with Graham Potter. That’s how he ended up at both Chelsea and West Ham. When Potter left Chelsea in 2023, Saltor took over as interim head coach. His one match in charge ended in a 0-0 draw with Liverpool. Frank Lampard replaced him soon after, and Saltor stayed on as part of the coaching staff until Mauricio Pochettino arrived, at which point he moved on. He later reunited with Potter at West Ham but left when Potter did in September.
Tottenham’s official statement confirmed the news: “Following the arrival of Igor Tudor as Head Coach until the end of the season, we can now confirm the appointment of three additional coaches to our Men’s First Team coaching staff. We welcome Bruno Saltor as Igor's assistant coach." Born in El Masnou, Spain, Saltor started his playing career in his home country before joining Brighton in 2012. He made 235 appearances there over seven years, then moved into coaching with the Seagulls after retiring in 2019. Since then, he’s picked up experience at Chelsea and West Ham.
Along with Saltor’s appointment, Spurs also announced some departures. Justin Cochrane, John Heitinga, and Chris Haslam are all leaving the coaching staff after Frank’s exit. The club thanked them for their efforts and wished them well.
GLASNER OUT? CRYSTAL PALACE CONSIDERING IMMEDIATE EXIT FOR BOSS AFTER DISMAL EUROPEAN DRAW
Oliver Glasner’s exit is imminent! Discover why Robbie Keane has emerged as the favorite to lead Crystal Palace out of crisis.
Oliver Glasner was supposed to stick around at Crystal Palace until the end of the season. That was the plan, anyway. But after another rough run of results, his exit could come a lot sooner.
Thursday night in Bosnia should’ve been nothing special, just a routine first leg against a team Palace should handle easily, with the real test back at Selhurst Park next week. Instead, a 1-1 draw against Zrinjski Mostar turned into another mess in a season that’s gotten uglier by the week for Glasner and Palace.
The travelling fans didn’t hide how they felt.
Palace have only managed one win in their last 15 games. That’s not a blip; it’s a full-on collapse, and it looks like Glasner’s time might be up even faster than everyone thought.
People at the top of the club have started openly asking if letting Glasner finish out his contract is actually hurting more than helping. He said back in January that he’d leave when his deal was up in the summer, but with results falling off a cliff and morale at rock bottom, those discussions have picked up speed.
Word is, Palace have already started looking for Glasner’s replacement, planning for a summer hire. But now, it looks like they might bring in his successor right away.
One name has shot straight to the top of the list: Robbie Keane.
TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook says Palace are considering Keane as a short-term fix if Glasner goes before the season ends. Keane’s reputation has soared lately. He won the Israeli Premier League with Maccabi Tel Aviv, then took the Hungarian league title in his first season at Ferencváros.
His win rate at Maccabi was over 73 per cent. He’s also done time as an assistant coach at Leeds and Middlesbrough. People who’ve played for him, like Ireland’s Callum O’Dowda, rave about him. O’Dowda said, “As soon as he opens his mouth, you want to listen. It’s phenomenal, really. On the coaching side,e he has been good.”
For now, Keane is still in charge at Ferencvaros, who are still in the Europa League, so prying him away won’t be simple.
Palace sit 13th in the Premier League, eight points clear of the relegation zone, but that gap feels less safe with every week they fail to win.
Tottenham even considered Keane as an interim manager before they went with Igor Tudor.
