Boss flying in for Chelsea talks as Coach confirms‘manager’will be in shortly

Liam Rosenior will be interviewed for the Chelsea head coach job on Monday, as current interim coach Calum McFarlane has admitted that a new manager will be appointed very soon.

The Strasbourg boss remains the leading candidate for the role. Chelsea want to move quickly to replace Enzo Maresca and an appointment could be made in time for their game at Fulham on Wednesday, live on Sky Sports.

Calum McFarlane took charge of CHELSEA for their visit to the Etihad and guided his side to a 1-1 draw thanks to a late equaliser from Enzo Fernandez.

Speaking after the game, McFarlane said: “When I originally took over I was told I would take the Man City game and there’s a chance the new manger might be in on Monday, that’s what I was told originally.

“It’s Sunday now, we’ve been solely focused on the game. For all I know, the new manager will be in shortly and I will lead the team until he’s in.”

The former Hull manager was asked again on the links with CHELSEA at the weekend, Rosenior said: “I haven’t discussed anything at this point. I know that they’re looking for a manager. Obviously it’s our sister club.

“Other than that I really want to focus on this club because this club has given me so much. So many good memories, so many good times. The players, the fans, it’s a great city.

“I don’t think it’s respectful to talk about anything else straight after a game that we’ve drawn. Like I said before, if something happens, it happens, but at the moment nothing’s happened.

“I know that there’s lots of speculation. I’d have to be an alien not to know.”
