Wayne Rooney believes Liam Rosenior is among the finest coaches he has ever collaborated with, insisting he is well-equipped to take the reins at Chelsea.

More Details

Rooney’s endorsement stems from their successful partnership at Derby County, which he still speaks of with great admiration.



Currently managing Strasbourg, Rosenior has emerged as the frontrunner for the Chelsea vacancy. The move is fueled by the logistical link between the two clubs, as both are under the same ownership group.

After serving as Wayne Rooney’s assistant at Derby County during 2021 and 2022, the 41-year-old Liam Rosenior took over as interim manager following Rooney’s exit.

The Englishman later moved to Hull City but was dismissed despite nearly securing a Championship play-off spot. As of 2024, he is managing the French side Strasbourg.

“He’s taken chances, and hopefully that pays off because I think Liam is as good a coach as I’ve ever worked with,” Rooney said on the BBC’s Wayne Rooney Show.

“His detail, how he approaches the day-to-day, he’s as good as I’ve worked with.”

“Liam was so important for me,” said Rooney. “He was incredible in his coaching ability. I was more of the manager and dealing with players and everything.

“So I learned a lot from him from that point of view and then I think he’s done a great job as a whole.”
