Strasbourg manager, Liam Rosenior, has confirmed he is set to replace Enzo Maresca at Chelsea.
Rosenior revealed this during a press conference on Tuesday.
According to him, there is a verbal agreement with the Blues, as it is “an opportunity I cannot turn down”.
“It looks like I am going to be the next manager of that football club (Chelsea),” he added.
The 41-year-old will become Chelsea’s fourth permanent boss since BlueCo took control in 2022.
The Premier League club are yet to make Rosenior’s appointment official, but he was in London on Monday to finalize an agreement.
Rosenior has now said he had wanted to announce the news himself in Strasbourg because of his relationship with the Ligue 1 side.
“Everything is agreed and it will probably go through in the next few hours,” he said.
“I’m here because I care about this club and I felt it was right to answer your questions physically here today before I move on.”
