Liam Rosenior Named Paris FC Head Coach

The Arnault-backed club says the appointment is part of a strategic reset to build a sustainable Ligue 1 project under a coach known for youth development.

Overview

  • Paris FC confirmed on Tuesday that Rosenior has signed a contract running until June 2028 and will take up his post when team training resumes on Thursday, July 9.
  • Rosenior replaces Antoine Kombouare after the club said it would end their collaboration to "open a new chapter" following an 11th-place finish and safety in the top flight.
  • The coach will lead pre-season work and squad preparation ahead of Paris FC’s Ligue 1 opener on August 22 and the summer transfer window deadline.
  • Rosenior arrives with a mixed recent record: he guided Strasbourg to European qualification in 2024–25 but was sacked by Chelsea after under four months in charge following a poor run of results.
  • The appointment reflects heavy owner involvement—Antoine Arnault publicly welcomed Rosenior—and signals Paris FC’s aim to forge a clearer playing identity, push up the table, and shape recruitment under the new project.
