Liam Rosenior Named Head Coach of Strasbourg

Liam Rosenior has been appointed as the new head coach of RC Strasbourg on a three-year deal following the departure of Patrick Vieira. The 40-year-old, previously the head of Hull City, expressed excitement about joining the historic French club and emphasized his commitment to making the team proud. Club president Marc Keller praised Rosenior for his coaching abilities and the potential for player development, hoping his possession-based style aligns with the club's ambitions. Strasbourg, owned by the BlueCo consortium which also controls Chelsea, finished 13th in Ligue 1 last season, and they aim for improvement under Rosenior's leadership. The appointment is expected to facilitate better cooperation between Chelsea and Strasbourg, particularly in player loans and sharing resources. Rosenior's prior experience includes a successful stint at Hull, where he narrowly missed out on a play-off position before his sacking in May.
