Liam Rosenior
Since Mikel Arteta’s appointment as Arsenal manager in December 2019, Chelsea has seen a revolving door of head coaches, with Liam Rosenior being the latest to take the helm at Stamford Bridge. While Arsenal’s patience with Arteta is paying dividends as they lead the Premier League, Rosenior hopes Chelsea will adopt a similar approach. Despite the club’s recent managerial instability, Rosenior is determined to achieve success and longevity in his role.
Rosenior said: “Obviously sitting here in this chair I want to be here for as long as possible. I want to be the guy. Not just me, by the way, the team, the staff, the ownership, the sporting directors, everyone, I want to be part of something really successful for a long, long time. That’s why I signed up to this challenge. The reality of football is what gives you time is being successful and you need to show your quality. Not just in terms of the games. Every day you need to be top with the players in terms of the way you develop them, the way you put your sessions on, the way you conduct meetings. But overall, I hope this is the end of the upheaval for the club, I hope I can be here for a very long time and bring the club the success it deserves.”
Rosenior added: “If you show progression, if you show the players and the team are improving. I have huge respect for Mikel. He is an outstanding guy, an outstanding coach and manager. To speak about my situation, I need to show improvements in this team in the short, medium and long term. If you show improvements in your team, the rest takes care of itself and you end up winning the prizes that you want to win.”
Rosenior continued: “I don’t think about it in that way, I just want to win every game. I don’t think about what other people write about me or my team or statements we can make or possibly not make. It’s about winning every game that you play. People can write what they want and say anything they want about me or how I live, or how I look. It doesn’t matter. My focus is on my team winning games of football. I’m not here to make statements, I’m here to help my team win as many games as possible.”
Rosenior’s comments reflect a desire for stability and success at Chelsea, similar to what Arteta has achieved with Arsenal. The Blues are currently navigating a challenging season, with a pressing need to secure points to qualify for the Champions League. Rosenior’s focus on daily improvement and long-term success underscores his commitment to reversing the club’s recent managerial turbulence. As Chelsea prepares to face Arsenal, Rosenior is determined to prioritize performance over external perceptions, aiming to establish a winning culture at Stamford Bridge.
