Wayne Rooney’s words about new Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior upon his appointment last week were some of the most positive we’ve heard from anyone.
The former England and Man U star was super positive about the incoming Blues boss, who had been his assistant at Derby. Rooney said the coach was as good as any on the training pitch he had ever seen in his career, and a former player of both of theirs agreed.

“He was great with the young lads at Derby, he put so much effort into us and helping us step up into the first-team. He had a very good long career as well,” said Dylan Williams, one of the kids that the Rooney-Rosenior duo brought into the first team at Derby, who eventually got a move to Stamford Bridge off the back of it.
“I spoke to Evo [George Evans] about it this morning because he had Rosenior at Derby as well and we were both saying that his detail and what he put Derby and into the game before playing the opposition, it had to be perfect,” Williams said in quotes picked up by Football.London.
“I think he is more than capable of doing the job. I think Liam was so detailed and emphasised the detail of passing, moving, the third man runs and when you got into the final third, be creative and express yourself.
“And I think you will be able to see that with the Chelsea team and them being so young.”
This is yet more encouraging stuff from those who have worked with Rosenior.
