Paris FC have confirmed the appointment of former Chelsea manager, Liam Rosenior as the club’s new head coach, with the Englishman signing a contract that will keep him at the Ligue 1 side until June 2028.
The club announced on Tuesday that Rosenior will officially begin work on Thursday, July 9, when the squad returns for pre-season training.
“The English manager has signed a contract with the club until June 2028 and will take up his post on Thursday 9 July, when team training resumes,” the club said in a statement.
Rosenior succeeds Antoine Kombouare, who was appointed in February and successfully guided Paris FC away from the relegation zone, leading the team to an 11th-place finish.
His spell included impressive victories over Monaco and reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Explaining the managerial change, the club said, “Following this season and after discussions between all parties involved, it was decided to bring this collaboration to an end in order to open a new chapter in the club’s history.”
The appointment marks Rosenior’s third managerial role in less than a year. The 41-year-old was dismissed by Chelsea in April after spending fewer than four months in charge, having previously left Strasbourg, where his attacking style of football helped the French side finish in the top half of Ligue 1.
“Aged 41, Liam Rosenior already has a wealth of experience at the highest level,” Paris FC said. “He has quickly established himself as one of the most promising coaches of his generation.”
Antoine Arnault, representing the Arnault family that owns Paris FC, welcomed Rosenior’s arrival and praised his coaching philosophy.
“My family and I are delighted to welcome Liam to our club and to see him return to our league here in France. I have always been impressed by his philosophy of play and by what he has built with his teams, which often consist of young players,” Arnault said.
