Liam Rosenior worked as Wayne Rooney's assistant at Derby County
Liam Rosenior is as good a coach as Wayne Rooney has worked with and deserves the chance to be Chelsea manager - with the former England striker fondly remembering their time together at Derby County.
Strasbourg boss Rosenior is the leading candidate to become the new boss at Chelsea, who have the same owners as the French club.
Englishman Rosenior, 41, was Rooney's assistant boss at Derby in 2021 and 2022, and he became the interim Rams boss in League One after the Manchester United legend's departure.
He then managed Hull City before being sacked, despite just missing out on the Championship play-offs, moving to Strasbourg in 2024.
