Rosenior relishes clash with 'world's best' PSG
The Straits Times
|March 11, 2026
The renewal of Chelsea’s rivalry with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on March 11 sees Liam Rosenior make a quick return to France, just two months after he left Strasbourg.
-
The Englishman was appointed by Chelsea in January on the back of a solid body of work over 18 months at Strasbourg, as well as the close links between the two clubs run by the BlueCo consortium.
He led the French team to European qualification last season and laid foundations that have been built on by his successor Gary O’Neil, who has taken them to the French Cup semifinals.
Rosenior got a young side — in which almost the entire squad are aged 23 or under — playing a sophisticated brand of football, with possession-based high pressing and man-to-man marking.
Strasbourg were one of just two teams to beat PSG in Ligue 1 last season, with a 2-1 victory in May that admittedly came after Luis Enrique's team had been confirmed as champions.
