Former Chelsea boss Rosenior named Paris FC manager

Liam Rosenior has returned to football management with Paris FC after being sacked by Chelsea in April. The 41-year-old lasted less than four months at Stamford Bridge but has moved back to France on a two-year contract, which is understood to include an option for a further season. Rosenior, who was with Strasbourg before taking the Chelsea job, replaces Antoine Kombouare after Paris finished 11th in Ligue 1 last season. Paris FC said Rosenior was appointed because of his "wealth of experience at the highest level," his ability to nurture young talent and his commitment to "attractive and attacking football." Rosenior remains highly regarded for his work at Chelsea's sister club Strasbourg, who finished seventh in 2024-25 and qualified for the Uefa Conference League with the youngest squad across Europe's top five leagues. Chelsea have replaced Rosenior with former Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso.
