Rosenior Named Paris FC Coach After Short Chelsea Spell

He says he will apply lessons from his Stamford Bridge tenure to an Arnault‑backed push that will reshape Paris FC’s coaching staff, budget and preseason plans.

Overview

  • Liam Rosenior held his first press conference as Paris FC head coach on Thursday after signing a multi‑year deal to replace Antoine Kombouaré.
  • He acknowledged mistakes during a brief Chelsea stint that began in January and ended in April after 23 games and a run of five straight defeats without scoring.
  • Rosenior said he accepts responsibility for areas he could have handled better, offered no ill will toward Chelsea, and praised their new manager Xabi Alonso.
  • Paris FC expects Rosenior to lead immediate changes to pre‑season work, backroom staffing and recruitment as part of an investor‑driven project that requires sign‑off on budgets and structure.
  • The move returns Rosenior to Ligue 1, where he previously had success with Strasbourg, and places him at a club that finished 11th last season while pursuing growth under the Arnault/LVMH investment with Red Bull as a minority backer.
