The official announcement from the English team is expected any minute now.
A year and a half after joining the bench of the Alsatian team, following two seasons at Hull City in the Championship, Rosenior, at 41, will experience the first major club of his coaching career.
The English coach thus joins Chelsea, the "parent company" of the BlueCo consortium, which also owns Strasbourg.
A controversial transfer in the middle of the season that will undoubtedly reignite debates around multi-ownership in football and its excesses.
The announcement of the planned transfer in the summer of 2026 of Emmanuel Emegha, the captain of Strasbourg, to the same Chelsea, in the middle of September, had already sparked the anger of the Racing Club de Strasbourg supporters' associations.
