[Saba Sports News] According to French media reports, Strasbourg head coach Liam Rosenior’s departure to join Chelsea has sparked anger among fans. Rosenior’s contract with Strasbourg was supposed to run until 2028, but he announced his move to Chelsea at a makeshift press conference on Tuesday. This decision has left many fans feeling upset. The 41-year-old Rosenior admitted that the timing was not perfect and stated that club president Marc Keller had tried to persuade him to stay, but ultimately could not prevent his departure.
In response, the Strasbourg Fans Union (FSRCS) issued a strongly worded statement calling for club president Marc Keller to resign, stating that “Rosenior’s transfer marks another step of Strasbourg succumbing to Chelsea.” The organization believes that every action taken by Marc Keller has been an insult and has undermined the excellent work done prior to 2023. This statement reveals a complete breakdown of trust between Strasbourg fans and the club’s management, despite recent attempts by both sides to ease tensions.
