Chelsea have appointed Liam Rosenior as head coach on a contract running until 2032, committing to a six-and-a-half-year deal that underscores the club’s renewed emphasis on continuity and long-term planning.
The appointment comes a week after Chelsea sacked Enzo Maresca following a run of inconsistent performances that compounded pressure on the club’s hierarchy to reset its sporting direction. Rosenior’s arrival marks the latest managerial change under the current ownership, which has prioritised youth development and a defined playing philosophy.
Club sources indicate that Rosenior was selected for his progressive coaching profile, tactical flexibility and reputation for improving young players—attributes that align with Chelsea’s squad composition and strategic outlook. The length of the contract is viewed internally as a signal of trust and a bid to shield the new coach from short-term volatility.
