Recent Career Movements
Rosenior returns to French football merely seven months after leaving his post for Chelsea, where he was hired in January following Enzo Maresca’s abrupt exit. During his short tenure at Stamford Bridge, Rosenior oversaw 23 matches before his eight-year contract was terminated prematurely. Previously, the 39-year-old led Strasbourg through a successful campaign that culminated in qualification for the UEFA Europa Conference League—the only full season he spent in charge of the French outfit.
Paris FC’s Direction and Support
The Parisian side are supported by both the Arnault family and Red Bull, the latter providing both financial backing and specialist expertise. With Antoine Kombouaré having safeguarded Paris FC’s Ligue 1 status after taking over in February, Rosenior now steps in to lead an ambitious new phase for the club.
Rosenior is set to officially begin his duties on Thursday, embarking on his new challenge with the stated goal of driving Paris FC forward over the next five years.
