Rosenior Emerges as Top Pick for Chelsea Manager After Maresca's Exit

• Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior is Chelsea's leading candidate to replace Enzo Maresca, who departed due to poor board relations and talks with Manchester City.
• Rosenior's club, Strasbourg, is also owned by BlueCo, the same consortium led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital that owns Chelsea.
• He is favored for his recent success, guiding Strasbourg to European qualification and topping their Conference League group in his first season.
• Rosenior is also known for developing young players, a trait Chelsea values, as they seek their fifth full-time manager since May 2022.
• Other candidates linked include Roberto de Zerbi, Kieran McKenna, Thomas Frank, Xavi Hernandez, and Frank Lampard, with Calum McFarlane managing the next match.

Why It Matters: Liam Rosenior is Chelsea's top choice, aligning with BlueCo's ownership and his success in developing young talent.
