Former Hull City head coach Liam Rosenior has landed another managerial job three months after being sacked by Premier League outfit Chelsea.
Rosenior will take charge of Paris FC from July 9, after being handed a contract at the 20,000 capacity Stade Jean-Bouin to take over from Antoine Kombouaré.
Kombouaré was only drafted in midway through the campaign and kept Paris FC up in Ligue 1 in their first season in France's top flight, finishing 11th, and now Rosenior has been tasked with building on that in the new campaign.
The ex-City boss, who spent 18 months at the MKM Stadium before being sacked, is no stranger to managing in France, having spent a spell at Strasbourg before his ill-fated reign at Stamford Bridge. In his full season at Strasbourg, he guided the club to an eigth place finish, and a place in the Conference League.

During that 106-day stint in West London, Rosenior won 11 out of 23 games, though that record did include a convincing FA Cup success against his former club back in February.
“I’m so happy to be the new coach of Paris FC. I can’t wait to get started with the players," Rosenior said. "I want my team to enjoy playing football, to show and express themselves and play with intensity and enthusiasm. That’s what I’m about, and hopefully I can bring that to this club.”
“Liam Rosenior possesses all the qualities we were looking for," sporting director Marco Neppe said. "He is a modern, demanding coach, renowned for his ability to develop both individual players and the team as a whole.
"Beyond his tactical skills, we were particularly impressed by his management abilities and his capacity to unite a group around a clear vision. I am convinced he has all the qualities to succeed at Paris FC and I wish him every success in this new chapter of his career.”
