Liam Rosenior will be taking charge of Chelsea for the first time when they visit Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup
Liam Rosenior wants to emulate "brave" Sir Alex Ferguson with a young Chelsea squad he believes has the potential to grow like Manchester United's famous Class of '92.
The 41-year-old replaced Enzo Maresca as head coach of the Blues after the Italian left his role on New Year's Day.
Maresca had complained of pressure to select certain players - senior figures insist he was only asked to limit minutes for those carrying injuries - and highlighted the challenge of sustained success with the Premier League's youngest squad, whose starting XIs have averaged 24 years and 198 days this season.
But Rosenior will relish the opportunity to shape successful futures for an exciting crop of talent - just like Ferguson did during his trophy-laden reign at Old Trafford.
