Premier League giants Chelsea on Tuesday announced the appointment of Strasbourg boss Liam Rosenior as their new head coach to replace Enzo Maresca.

The Englishman, who has signed a contract until 2032, said in a club statement that he was "extremely humbled and honoured to be appointed".

"This is a club with a unique spirit and a proud history of winning trophies," he added. "My job is to protect that identity and create a team that reflects these values in every game we play as we continue winning trophies."
