Liam Rosenior has three very important skills which could make him a very good Chelsea manager according to journalist James Olley.

Chelsea are once again looking for a new manager after Enzo Maresca left the club on Thursday after 18 months in charge.

Under-21s manager Calum McFarlane will lead the team against Manchester City on Sunday afternoon, and the Blues will hope to have their new man in the dugout for Wednesday’s game against Fulham.

Liam Rosenior has three very important skills

Liam Rosenior is reportedly the leading candidate for the job, with Chelsea believed to be in negotiations with Strasbourg to get a deal done.

Chelsea are said to view Rosenior as their “ideal” coach, but it’s a huge step up for the 41-year-old at such an early stage of his career.

Rosenior is expected to become the next Chelsea manager.

Rosenior appeared to say goodbye to Strasbourg after their 1-1 draw with Nice on Saturday, and a tough task awaits him in west London.

The former Hull boss is a highly regarded young coach and Olley believes he’s got three skills which could make him a good Chelsea manager.

“I haven’t had a lot of a chance to speak to people about him, but I did speak to somebody this morning who told me that he’s a very good relationship builder,” he told ESPN FC.

“He’s very good at managing up and he’s a very effective communicator. And those are important skills.”

Chelsea need to qualify for the Champions League

When Rosenior does arrive he will be tasked with making sure Chelsea qualify for Champions League football, with the Blues currently fifth in the league.
