July 7 (Reuters) - Paris ⁠FC have appointed former Chelsea boss ⁠Liam Rosenior as manager on a contract ‌until June 2028, the Ligue 1 club said on Tuesday.

The 41-year-old Englishman succeeds Antoine Kombouare, who guided ​the club to an 11th-placed ⁠finish last season.

"Liam Rosenior ⁠brings together all the qualities we were looking ⁠for," ‌Sporting Director Marco Neppe said in a statement.

"He is a modern, ⁠demanding coach and recognised for his ability ​to help ‌both the players and the team ⁠progress. Beyond ​his tactical skills, we were particularly attracted by his management qualities and his ability to ⁠unite a group around a ​clear vision."

Rosenior returns to French football after leaving RC Strasbourg, whom he managed from 2024 to ⁠2026 before taking charge of Chelsea in January following Enzo Maresca's departure.

His spell at Stamford Bridge proved short-lived, with the club ​ending his contract in less ⁠than four months despite handing him a ​deal that ran until 2032.

Paris ‌FC said Rosenior will ​begin work on Thursday.
