Liam Rosenior has been announced as the new Chelsea manager, replacing Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge following a fruitful spell in France with Strasbourg.

The Englishman confirmed his departure from the Ligue 1 club this morning in a press conference before putting pen to paper on a mammoth five-a-and-half-year deal. Strasbourg have the same owners as Chelsea, under the BlueCo ownership, seeing Rosenior ultimately earn a promotion.

Rosenior said in his farewell to Strasbourg that he was looking forward to going home and see my kids. The 41-year-old and his wife Erika share four children together, but they have been living apart since Rosenior took the Strasbourg job.

The couple share a family home in Derbyshire but Erika and the kids remained in England, deciding not to relocate to France.

However, Rosenior made frequent trips back to the family home during international breaks to spend time with his loved ones.

Roseniors personal life remains largely secretive but its known that he married his American wife in a picturesque waterside ceremony before partying at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes.

His new position at Chelsea will be a welcome one for the entire Rosenior household and one the former Derby County interim and Hull City manager is excited for.

Rosenior said on his new role: "I am extremely humbled and honoured to be appointed Head Coach of Chelsea Football Club. This is a club with a unique spirit and a proud history of winning trophies.

"My job is to protect that identity and create a team that reflects these values in every game we play as we continue winning trophies.

The new Chelsea boss will be feeling the love and support of his friends and family

To be entrusted with this role means the world to me and I want to thank all involved for the opportunity and faith in undertaking this job. I will give everything to bring the success this club deserves.

"I believe deeply in teamwork, unity, togetherness and working for one another, and those values will be at the heart of everything we do.

They will be the foundation of our success. I am excited to work with this extremely talented group of players and staff, to build strong connections on and off the pitch, and to create an environment where everyone feels united and driven by the same goal.

"There is a real hunger to win, and I will give everything, every single day, to help this team compete and win at the very highest level to make everyone connected and proud to be a part of Chelsea Football Club.

I want our fans to be proud of who we are and what we represent in every single game that we play. They are the soul of this enormous, historic and huge football club. I cannot wait to meet you all. I cannot wait to get started."
