🚫W.Fofana out with a fever too.

Joe Shields has joined the squad on the pitch. (@NizaarKinsella)

🚨🔵 Rosenior was approached over the Bayer Leverkusen job September and was of interest to Nottingham Forest the following month. That was an attractive job given that Rosenior’s family has stayed in Derby rather than move with him to France. (@SamWallaceTel)

🔵🗯Eric Ramsay, former assistant coach of Chelsea U23 19/21, is considered the favorite to succeed Liam Rosenior at Racing Strasbourg. Calum McFarlane, Chelsea U23 coach since 2025, who is currently acting as interim coach at Chelsea, is also on the list, as is Filipe Coelho, former Chelsea U23 coach 24/25. Will Still is also being considered as an option. (@LeMechenoua)

Marc Keller opposes Liam Rosenior's departure to Chelsea! 😤 👉 The Racing president wants to keep the English coach at least until the end of the season and has made this known to BlueCo. 💥 👉 Negotiations are underway to convince the American consortium. 💬 (@Direct__Racing)

😵🤐Oh My God, Joe Shields seems to be incapable of doing anything other than removing everything from Man City!!! 🔴💥🤔City or former City players/staff who, since Joe Shields' move to Chelsea in January 23, have been recommended by him, signed, almost signed, or are still to be signed for Chelsea and Strasbourg: 🟠Transfer canceled: -Samuel Edozie -CJ Egan-Riley -Nico O'Reilly -Taylor Harwood-Bellis -Joel Ndala 🟢Transfers that worked out: -Cole Palmer -Liam Delap -Roméo Lavia -Jadon Sancho -Jamie Gittens -Tosin Adarabioyo -Tyrese Noubissie 🔵Transfers that are still possible in the upcoming transfer periods: -Pierce Charles -James McAtee -Jahmai Simpson-Pusey -James Trafford -Oscar Bobb -Morgan Rogers 🟤Employees who work at Chelsea and Strasbourg thanks to Shields or had. -Glenn van der Kraan -Andrew Cousins -Stewart Thompson -Calum McFarlane -Enzo Maresca -Nick Chadd

🗯Cole Palmer leads FIFTEEN silent stars after Enzo Maresca's departure. Eight stars send emotional goodbyes.💣💥 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-15428857/Chelseas-squad-split-Enzo-Maresca-axeing-emotional-goodbyes-Cole-Palmer-leads-FIFTEEN-staying-silent.html?ito=native_share_article-nativemenubutton

Kjetil Knutsen of FK Bodø/Glimt is a name circulating for potential new Strasbourg manager, and another is ex City Coach Brian Barry-Murphy of Cardiff City. (@lequipe ) Joe Shields He can't help himself; he was also a key player for Enzo Maresca, who brought him to Chelsea.

-Iraola🚫 -De Zerbi🚫 -Faroli🚫 -Glasner🚫 -Fabregas🚫 -Klopp🚫 -Mourinho🚫 -Zidane🚫 🗯I haven't heard of any rejections from Marco Silva, McKenna, or Xavi yet, unlike the ones mentioned above!

One thing I will add: the club didn't want to make a mid-season change but the position became untenable. This has also impacted who they have considered because managers even less frequently want to change jobs mid-season. (@Rob)

🗯💥Rosenior was certainly not my preferred choice either, but anyone who thinks that Chelsea will still be looking for big-name coaches and players at the end of 2022 is still living in the Abra era! That won't be the case for a few years now. At least Rosenior is playing with proper full-backs who aren't inverted and is focusing on width and wing play. Every player plays where he is best, and he is tactically flexible, which Maresca was not.

💣🗯Liam Rosenior is Chelsea's new coach! The agreement with him was reached over a week ago. This meant that Chelsea couldn't turn down a new coach, as Chelsea had always seen Rosenior as Enzo's successor. There are still a few minor details to be clarified. An announcement will be made after the game against City. Rosenior is practically a Blue!!! (@SimonPhillips)

AVB 2.0 😄🚫

🚑Joe Shields is bringing all former City employees and players to Chelsea and Strasbourg! He already did this in Southampton and helped himself generously at City.

🔵💣West Ham United are in talks over a loan move for Chelsea attacker Raheem Sterling (@EXWHUEmployee)

💣💥It’s looking likely that Liam Rosenior is going to be the next Chelsea head coach✅

Glasner, Iraola, Fabregas are not contenders for Chelsea at the moment. (@JacobSteinberg) Hmmm
