Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton says Liam Rosenior is viewed as "a really young coach" and a "real rookie", even though he is 41 years old.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club before Rosenior was confirmed as Chelsea's new boss, Sutton said: "Fabian Hurzeler at Brighton is 32 and yet we all view that as normal, but then if [Rosenior] gets this job at Chelsea, we're viewing him as a real rookie."

Sutton said the biggest change Rosenior will encounter is switching to taking charge of players who have "won World Cups, are worth millions and players who have big egos and back themselves".
"I just hope it's a move which doesn't swallow him up or have a negative effect on his coaching career. I'm not saying it will because he's a super smart guy," he added.
