Liam Rosenior left Chelsea in disarray. His few months at Chelsea saw him become a laughing stock and a constant meme on social media, as the Blues slumped out of European contention.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> made a good start under the former Strasbourg manager, but draws against Leeds and Burnley saw Rosenior\u2019s initial run of six wins in seven fall by the wayside. By April, Rosenior<\/a> had been sacked.<\/p>\n

DEBATE: Who is the worst Chelsea manager of all-time? Is it Liam Rosenior?\ud83e\udd14<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Whether it was \u2018respecting the ball\u2019 and conducting a huddle around a referee, his decision to ban Enzo Fernandez, or his comments in the media that grew increasingly under the spotlight, it didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, it saw BlueCo realise something. To manage Chelsea, the manager must have an aura able to cope with the pressure of such a historic club and an expectant fanbase. Xabi Alonso is that man.<\/p>\n

Rosenior has taken over at Paris FC as he returns to Ligue 1<\/h2>\n

Promoted to Ligue 1 in 2025, Paris FC are quickly establishing themselves in France\u2019s top tier. Backed by RedBull, as are Chelsea\u2019s Wednesday opponents Leeds United, Paris hired Rosenior back in the summer.<\/p>\n

It saw Rosenior return to Ligue 1, where he really made a name for himself at Strasbourg, the other club in BlueCo\u2019s portfolio. He\u2019s made an excellent start to life with his new club, as he rebuilds his reputation.<\/p>\n

Paris FC secure historic win over Marseille with late penalty<\/h2>\n

Going into the weekend, Rosenior had watched his side draw 0-0 with Troyes away from home, before beating Nice 3-0. However, on Sunday, they faced their toughest challenge yet \u2013 a trip to Marseille.<\/p>\n

The latter find themselves in disarray somewhat after a difficult summer. Rosenior\u2019s men took advantage, winning 3-2. Marseille pegged Paris FC back to draw level at 2-2, only for Paris to win it 3-2 late on.<\/p>\n

Paris sit in 2nd place under Rosenior at this early stage<\/h2>\n

The win sees Paris sit second in Ligue 1 at this early stage. It is early, proven by PSG\u2019s 15th position with Luis Enrique\u2019s men picking up just two points from their three games. Seven points from three for Paris.<\/p>\n

The only side that sit above Rosenior\u2019s Paris is a team managed by another former Chelsea man, in Filipe Luis. His Monaco side, who boast Lamine Camara in midfield, have won all three of their league games.<\/p>\n

But Rosenior has made a stunning start after returning to France and is certainly building on his excellent reputation in France. Continue in this way, and English clubs will start to become interested once again.<\/p>\n
