Maresca's successor is in London! » He could be on Chelsea's bench with Fulham

Liam Rosenior's move from Strasbourg to Chelsea went straight. The clubs are part of the same group (BlueCo), and after the weekend matches, when the French drew at Nice (1-1), and the blues at the Emirates, with Manchester City (1-1), the transfer became a mere formality.

The Sun tabloid has revealed that the British coach is already in London negotiating his contract with Chelsea and is expected to be on the bench for Wednesday's game against Fulham.

Liam Rosenior said goodbye to Strasbourg after 1-1 with Nice

In the capital of England, Rosenior was accompanied by the president of the French club, Marc Keller, and the sporting director David Weir. “The training of the Strasbourg team on Monday is expected to take place without Rosenior and his technical staff”, reports the same The Sun.

After the 1-1 draw with Nice, he gave a speech in which he hinted that he would be leaving the club: “Strasbourg is a very beautiful city, with very beautiful people, a great club. I loved everything. The players were incredible. I really want the best for this club. I don't know if this is my last match. In life, you never know.”

Enzo Maresca gave up a compensation of 16 million euros

Rosenior replaces Enzo Maresca at Chelsea, who left the team on New Year's Day due to disagreements with the club's management. After the draw with Bournemouth (2-2), last Tuesday, he didn't even come to the press conference. The Sun wrote that the Italian technician would have given up a compensation of 16 million euros, which he had stipulated in the contract due in 2029.

On Sunday, at the Emirates, in a 1-1 draw with Manchester City, Chelsea's coach from the Under 21 team, Calum McFarlane, sat on the bench. The guests equalized only in extra time, in the 90th + 4th minute, when Enzo Fernandez scored a lucky shot, from 3-4 meters, and is in 5th place in the Premier League standings.
