Paris FC appoint Liam Rosenior as new head coach
Newly promoted Paris FC have confirmed the appointment of Liam Rosenior as the club’s new head coach.
The French club announced on Tuesday that the English manager has signed a contract running until June 2028.
Rosenior will officially begin work on Thursday, July 9, when the team’s pre-season training resumes.
He replaces Antoine Kombouaré, who took charge of Paris FC in February and successfully guided the club away from the relegation battle.
Under Kombouaré, Paris FC finished 11th in the league, recording impressive victories over AS Monaco and reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain before stepping down.
Rosenior now takes over as Paris FC prepare for the new season under the ownership of the LVMH luxury group.
“Following this season and after discussions between all parties involved, it was decided to bring this collaboration to an end in order to open a new chapter in the club’s history,” said the club statement.
It will be Rosenior’s third club in under a year. He was sacked as Chelsea manager after less than four months in charge in April after leaving Strasbourg, where his free-flowing game lifted the club into the top third of Ligue 1.
“Aged 41, Liam Rosenior already has a wealth of experience at the highest level,” said Paris FC. “He has quickly established himself as one of the most promising coaches of his generation.”
Antoine Arnault, representative of the Arnault family which owns the club, expressed his enthusiasm for Rosenior.
“My family and I are delighted to welcome Liam to our club and to see him return to our league here in France. I have always been impressed by his philosophy of play and by what he has built with his teams, which often consist of young players,” Arnault said.
