Chelsea seek stability with Rosenior as owners lay out long-term blueprint

Chelsea have tried almost everything since BlueCo swept in with promises of modernisation in 2022, with heavy spending, long contracts and youth-heavy squads, but what has remained elusive is the one thing the club once took for granted - stability.

- 

That is something they have set out to change with the appointment of Liam Rosenior on Tuesday as the Englishman becomes Chelsea's fourth permanent head coach under the current ownership.

By offering the 41-year-old a contract until 2032 after parachuting him in from their sister club Racing Strasbourg, BlueCo are signalling not just another managerial change but an attempt to lock in a long-term identity.

Since the takeover, illustrious names like Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter, Mauricio Pochettino and Enzo Maresca have all departed -- all casualties of an ownership group that professed patience while repeatedly resorting to upheaval.
