Liam Rosenior has flown to London to finalise his expected appointment as Chelsea head coach.<\/b><\/p>\n

As BBC Sport reported on Thursday, Strasbourg boss Rosenior is the leading candidate to replace Enzo Maresca,<\/a> who has left Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

Talks to appoint Rosenior are at an advanced stage, and the 41-year-old is in the capital to complete formalities before he is named as Maresca’s successor.<\/p>\n

BlueCo \u2013 the investment vehicle set up to purchase Chelsea in 2022 \u2013 has started the process of identifying candidates to replace Rosenior at sister club Strasbourg.<\/p>\n

Chelsea caretaker manager Calum McFarlane says “there’s a chance” the new boss will be in place on Monday.<\/p>\n

The under-21s coach stepped in after Maresca parted company with Chelsea<\/a> following disagreements with leadership figures at the club.<\/p>\n

McFarlane’s Chelsea drew 1-1 away at title challengers Manchester City<\/a> on Sunday thanks to an equaliser in the closing moments from midfielder Enzo Fernandez.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the match, McFarlane said: “When I first took the job, I was told I would take the Manchester City game. So that was three days with the group.<\/p>\n

“There’s a chance the new manager will be in on Monday – that’s what I was told originally.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, it’s Sunday now. We’ve been solely focused on the game. I’m sure I’ll get more information once I’m out of this press conference. But as far as I know, the new manager will be in shortly and I’ll lead the team until he’s in.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
