Liam's as good a coach as I've worked with

ROO RECKONS ROSENIOR WILL BE BLUES HIT...

- KEITH WEBSTER

WAYNE ROONEY believes Liam Rosenior has served his "apprenticeship" and is ready to take the reins at Chelsea.

Rosenior looks set to quit his position as Strasbourg head coach and replace Enzo Maresca (below) at Chelsea after arriving in west London on Sunday for a meeting with the Blues' hierarchy.

Calum McFarlane is again expected to be in charge for Chelsea's game against Fulham at Craven Cottage tomorrow.

Rosenior worked as an assistant to Rooney at Derby before taking interim charge in 2022 when the former England captain left.
