Strasbourg head coach Liam Rosenior has extended his contract at the club until June 2028.
The 40-year-old turned down multiple approaches from Premier League clubs to commit to the Ligue 1 side.
Under the leadership of president Marc Keller in collaboration with ownership group BlueCo — who also own Premier League side Chelsea — Strasbourg are on course for an historic season by challenging for European qualification. They are currently seventh in Ligue 1 — which could get them there — with only four rounds of fixtures remaining.
Strasbourg have done that only once since 2005, yet even then (2019-20) they fell short of making the Europa League group stage after losing a play-off to Eintracht Frankfurt.
Strasbourg have the youngest squad in Ligue 1 with an average starting age of 21.4 years, according to transfermarkt, and are among the youngest squads in European football history.’
Rosenior, 40, was sacked as Hull City head coach in May 2024 despite being nominated for Championship manager of the 2023-24 season along with Kieran McKenna and Daniel Farke.
A former full-back, Rosenior started his managerial career at Derby County, having been appointed as interim head coach following the resignation of Wayne Rooney in June 2022 and joining Hull later that year on a two-and-a-half year contract.
