PARIS — Liam Rosenior is back coaching in French soccer after Paris FC hired him on a two-year contract on Tuesday.
Paris FC announced Rosenior’s arrival in a statement on X and the 41-year-old Englishman spoke in a brief video message. “I’m so happy to be the coach of Paris FC, I can’t wait to get started with the new players,” he said according to AFP.
“It’s a fantastic project.”
Rosenior was coach of Ligue 1 side Strasbourg until he left midway through last season to take charge of Chelsea, which handed him a six-year deal but then fired him less than four months into the job amid poor results in the Premier League.
Chelsea was also crushed 8-2 by Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 of the Champions League.
He replaces Antoine Kombouare at Paris FC. The veteran coach, who did well when taking charge in late February, reportedly fell out with the club over the terms of a new contract.
