    Strasbourg  manager Liam Rosenior is the favourite to take over as the new manager of English Premier League club Chelsea

    Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior is the favourite to take over as the new manager of English Premier League club Chelsea


    Enzo Maresca parted ways with the London club overnight, as tensions with the club's hierarchy came to a head.

    He departed with Chelsea sitting fifth on the Premier League table, but they have only secured one win from their last seven top-flight games.

    Strasbourg are also owned by BlueCo, the consortium that was set up to purchase Chelsea four years ago.
