New Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior said Monday he would love to be at the club for six years or longer as he prepares for a blockbuster League Cup semifinal against Arsenal.
The Englishman, who swapped Strasbourg for Stamford Bridge last week, took charge of his first game on Saturday - a 5-1 FA Cup win at Charlton.
But tonight he faces a challenge of a different order when he comes up against Premier League leaders Arsenal in the first leg of the League Cup semifinal.
Rosenior last week replaced Enzo Maresca, who became the fourth permanent manager to leave Chelsea since the American-backed BlueCo consortium took control in May 2022.
