Chelsea Football Club has appointed Liam Rosenior, 41, as their new head coach on a six-and-a-half-year deal, succeeding Enzo Maresca. Rosenior, previously managing Strasbourg, expressed his excitement for the "world-class club" despite his limited managerial experience.

• Liam Rosenior signed a deal with Chelsea until 2032.
• He has three years' experience as a manager with Hull City and Strasbourg, and has never coached in the Premier League.
• Strasbourg is part of the Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital-owned BlueCo multi-club ownership group that also controls Chelsea.
• Chelsea is currently fifth in the Premier League, 17 points behind Arsenal.

Ruben Amorim has been sacked as manager of Manchester United after a 14-month reign, the club announced on Monday. The decision was made to give the team the "best opportunity of the highest possible Premier League finish."

• Amorim was appointed in November 2024 and led the team to the Europa League final, losing to Tottenham Hotspur.
• The club currently sits sixth in the Premier League table.
• Under-18s coach Darren Fletcher will take temporary charge for the upcoming match against Burnley.

Ruben Amorim's tenure as head coach of Manchester United has ended after just 14 months, with the Portuguese manager being sacked following a disappointing run of results and an inability to revive the club's fortunes. He leaves as the seventh permanent boss since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.

• Amorim overseen only 25 wins in 63 games, leading to his dismissal.
• He steadfastly adhered to his preferred 3-4-3 formation despite it seemingly not suiting the team, and faced tensions with director of football Jason Wilcox over transfer targets.
• The club finished 15th, their lowest top-flight finish since 1974, despite spending over £200 million ($269 million) on new players in the summer.
• United also suffered an embarrassing League Cup exit to fourth-tier Grimsby and failed to qualify for European football for the second time in 35 years.
• Concerns were raised about Amorim's reluctance to give opportunities to academy graduates like Kobbie Mainoo, who is yet to start a Premier League game this season.
