Overview
- Chelsea confirmed Liam Rossinior as head coach on a contract running until 2032, with the 41-year-old departing Strasbourg after a farewell press conference.
- The appointment followed Enzo Mariska’s sudden exit on New Year’s Day, with reports citing talks with Manchester City and disagreements over medical authority during player returns.
- Manchester United announced Robin Amorim’s departure on Jan. 5 and said Darren Fletcher will take interim charge for Wednesday’s match against Burnley.
- United’s statement pointed to a poor run that left the club sixth in the Premier League on 31 points, including only two wins in seven league matches and a 1-1 draw at Leeds.
- Amorim, appointed in November 2024, led United to the Europa League final in Bilbao and finished with a reported record of 25 wins, 15 draws and 23 losses across 63 matches.
