The 41-year-old replaced the departing Enzo Maresca as our head coach earlier this week, signing a deal until 2032. He joins following an impressive stint in charge of Strasbourg, leading the youngest squad across Europe's top divisions into the Conference League.

Rosenior was in attendance at Craven Cottage for our clash with Fulham on Wednesday night, before taking control on Thursday with his first training session and following it up with another today.

That is all gearing up to Saturday’s FA Cup clash with Charlton – one of many competitions both domestically and in Europe the Blues are challenging across – with Rosenior excited to get to work with such a talented pool of players.

The head coach spoke to the media at Cobham on Friday, conducting his first press conference since taking charge, with the former Hull and Derby head coach also explaining why he believes his experiences will help him to be a success at Stamford Bridge.

‘The potential for this club, and for this group is limitless,’ Rosenior told the gathered media. ‘And I won't limit it.

‘I never limit the ambitions of my group. We've got world-class players, we've got players who have won the World Cup, this group won the Club World Cup only a matter of months ago. I watched that game and they were absolutely magnificent against PSG.

‘We have lots of important fixtures coming up but I've said to the players to just focus on winning the next game. Always the next game. That's how you go on a run.

‘With the talent that we have, the level of professionalism of the group, the intensity of which they've trained over the last two days, their engagement to something new, there are really, really positive signs here.

‘You don't limit your ambitions. I'm not arrogant, but I believe I'm good at what I do. And in every job that I've worked, whether it was as an interim, as an assistant, as a head coach or a manager - relative to the group I've worked with - I've been successful.

‘So, for me, I've always wanted to be at a huge club like this. But it's not about just being here, it's about being successful here.’

Rosenior gained plaudits for his work in Ligue 1 with Strasbourg, playing an attractive style of play that was built up from the goalkeeper playing out with their feet, firstly through former Chelsea man Djordje Petrovic and latterly current Blue Mike Penders.

The Englishman was asked whether he would use the same methodology at Chelsea and while keen to continue to use an attractive style, Liam stated that – first and foremost – he’d look to play to the ability of his players. In this case, and in his words, an extremely talented group of players.

‘Every team is different,’ our head coach explained. ‘You work to the ability of your players. You work to what their strengths are.

‘I'm very fortunate, in terms of the goalkeepers, that both [Filip] Jorgensen and [Rob] Sanchez are world-class goalkeepers with their feet, which absolutely suits the way I want to play.

‘But I'm not going to come in here on the first day and they can say to Rob to play from the halfway line, or for Filip to play from the halfway. It takes time; it's a process. I feel very confident I can bring the best out of my group, in different areas, in different aspects, and playing in one way with one team is different to playing another way with another. I can be adaptable but it's about my players and their strengths.’
