Rooney said he has “no doubts” that Rosenior could do a good job for Chelsea<\/a>.<\/p>\n Enzo Maresca left his role at the Blues after 18 months in charge, having fallen out with the club’s owners.<\/p>\n The last time Rosenior worked in the Premier League was as a player for Brighton<\/a> in 2017.<\/p>\n As a right-back, he had a solid but unspectacular career as a player – also featuring in the top flight for Fulham<\/a>, Reading and Hull.<\/p>\n Roughly half his career was spent in the EFL and that is where he started his coaching career.<\/p>\n After a spell as Brighton<\/a>‘s under-23s coach, he spent three years at Derby – working with Phillip Cocu before Rooney.<\/p>\n “He’s also got a side which you don’t want to cross him as well,” said Rooney.<\/p>\n “That’s important as well. If he goes in there, he won’t disappoint. He’s been waiting for an opportunity like this.<\/p>\n “If you don’t take it now, then you’re never going to take it. And I think he’s done his apprenticeship, he’s done his work to try and get to that job.<\/p>\n “So he’ll have no doubts in his mind that he’s capable of doing that job. And hopefully, very soon, hopefully we hear that he is the manager, because for young English coaches I think it’s massive.<\/p>\n “We don’t really see English managers at big clubs. So he’d be leading the way for for us.”<\/p>\n The only English managers currently in the Premier League are Newcastle<\/a>‘s Eddie Howe, Burnley<\/a>‘s Scott Parker and Nottingham Forest<\/a>‘s Sean Dyche.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
