Liam Rosenior has returned to football management with Paris FC after being sacked by Chelsea in April.
The 41-year-old lasted less than four months at Stamford Bridge but has moved back to France on a two-year contract, which is understood to include an option for a further season.
Rosenior, who was with Strasbourg before taking the Chelsea job, replaces Antoine Kombouare after Paris finished 11th in Ligue 1 last season.
The club, which is owned by the Arnault family with Red Bull as a minority shareholder, is ambitious to achieve more.
Paris FC said Rosenior was appointed because of his “wealth of experience at the highest level”, his ability to nurture young talent and his commitment to “attractive and attacking football”.
Rosenior replaced Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge in January following the now-Manchester City manager’s disagreement with members of the club hierarchy.
After an encouraging start, form soon tailed off and Rosenior lost each of his final five Premier League matches in charge, with Chelsea failing to score a goal.
However, he remains highly regarded for his work at Chelsea‘s sister club Strasbourg, who finished seventh in 2024-25 and qualified for the Uefa Conference League with the youngest squad across Europe’s top five leagues.
Rosenior began his coaching career with Brighton Under-23s before moving to Derby County, first as Wayne Rooney’s assistant before taking over as interim boss.
He was named Hull City head coach in 2022 and led them to 15th in the Championship in his first season and then seventh in his second, but was sacked having missed out on the play-offs.
Chelsea have replaced Rosenior with former Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso, with the ex-Spain midfielder the sixth permanent manager at Stamford Bridge in four years under BlueCo ownership.
