Chelsea supporters are set to join forces with Strasbourg fans for a significant protest against the BlueCo ownership model. The cross-border demonstration will take place ahead of the Blues' high-profile Premier League clash with Manchester United after the international break.
Chelsea are reportedly fast-tracking their plans to integrate French sensation Rayane Messi into their first-team setup as Europeâs elite begin to circle. The 18-year-old winger, currently developing within the BlueCo multi-club network, has emerged as a primary target for several continental heavyweights. Despite the fierce competition, the Stamford Bridge hierarchy remains determined to protect their prized asset and accelerate his pathway to the Premier League.
Strasbourg assistant coach Filipe Coelho has opened up on his decision to reject a move to Chelsea earlier this year. The Portuguese coach was heavily linked with a return to Stamford Bridge when Liam Rosenior left the Ligue 1 outfit to take over the reins from Enzo Maresca in London, but Coelho opted to remain at the Stade de la Meinau to serve under new boss Gary O'Neil.
The honeymoon period for Endrick in France appears to be well and truly over. Despite a sensational start to life at Lyon, the Real Madrid loanee found himself at the centre of a storm following a dismal performance in a 3-1 defeat to Strasbourg on Sunday. The 19-year-old, who previously looked untouchable in Ligue 1, was hauled through the coals by former France national team manager Raymond Domenech, who did not hold back in his assessment of the Brazilian's contributions at the Stade de la Meinau.
Jamie Vardy has long been established as one of the most unique characters in English football history, but new revelations from a former teammate have shed light on the sheer scale of his unconventional lifestyle. The Leicester City legend has never made a secret of his affinity for energy drinks. However, current Strasbourg defender Ben Chilwell has now detailed just how extreme the striker's habits became during their shared time at the King Power Stadium.
Endrickâs highly anticipated loan spell at Lyon hit a major stumbling block this weekend. After arriving from Real Madrid with immense expectations, the Brazilian prodigy initially took Ligue 1 by storm. However, Sunday's lacklustre display against Strasbourg caused some concern, leaving manager Paulo Fonseca thoroughly unimpressed as he searches for immediate tactical solutions to unlock the teenager.
Marseille suffered more frustration, in what has become a difficult period for the club, when throwing away a two-goal lead in their 2-2 draw with Strasbourg. The contest was their first since seeing Roberto De Zerbi relieved of his managerial duties. Inspiration is required from somewhere, as OM try to restore some stability, and Mason Greenwood is doing his best to provide that.
A turbulent period for Marseille has delivered more drama, with disgruntled supporters trying to storm presidential suites at Stade Velodrome. A furious stampede took place following a 2-2 draw with Strasbourg in Ligue 1. Said contest saw Mason Greenwood among the goals again, but Marseille threw away a commanding lead to drop two points in dramatic fashion.
Chelsea are set to execute a complex triple transfer shuffle with sister club Strasbourg as the January window reaches its climax. The Blues have decided to recall highly-rated defender Mamadou Sarr, viewing him as a key part of their long-term project. In a direct exchange of resources, Argentinian prospect Aaron Anselmino and striker David Datro Fofana will head to France on loan for the remainder of the campaign to aid the Ligue 1 side.
Chelsea have reportedly decided against sending Aaron Anselmino back to Borussia Dortmund on loan as they did not appreciate comments made by the Bundesliga club during his initial spell in Germany. The Blues opted to recall Anselmino midway through his season-long stint at Dortmund earlier this month, much to the surprise of BVB and the player himself.
Chelsea have reached a full agreement to send teenage sensation Kendry Paez on loan to River Plate after cutting short his spell in Ligue 1. The 18-year-old has been recalled from Strasbourg to join the Argentine giants immediately, with the Blues sanctioning the move to ensure their prized asset secures regular first-team football under Marcelo Gallardo.
Carlo Ancelotti's son, Davide, reportedly put his name forward for the Strasbourg managerial role after Liam Rosenior's move to Chelsea. The former Botafogo boss is said to have been keen on the coaching position but was eventually pipped to the post by ex-Wolves manager Gary O'Neil. It seems the 36-year-old does not want to be out in the coaching wilderness for a while.
Ben Chilwell has told Liam Rosenior he is joining an "amazing club" as his ex-Strasbourg boss prepares to take the reins at his former side Chelsea. Rosenior has been named as the Blues' new head coach following Enzo Maresca's acrimonious exit, and the move has prompted Chilwell to bid him a heartfelt farewell as the English coach leaves the Ligue 1 outfit behind.
Frustrated Strasbourg fans have called out the clubâs âhumiliating subservience to Chelseaâ after seeing head coach Liam Rosenior take the reins at Stamford Bridge. The highly-rated 41-year-old has signed a long-term contract in west London after seeing his stock rise while working with one of the Bluesâ sister clubs in Ligue 1. Those left behind in France are unimpressed at how that managerial merry-go-round played out.
Liam Rosenior has been confirmed as the new manager of Chelsea, bringing an emotional end to his successful tenure at Strasbourg. The 41-year-old described the move to Stamford Bridge as an "honour" he simply could not refuse, citing the allure of the Club World Cup champions and a desperate desire to return home to his family.
There's a nostalgic feel to Chelsea's sudden firing of a manager and the mad scramble to bring in a successor midway through a season. The difference on this occasion is they are not a team stacked with world-class players in pursuit of the Premier League title, rather a middling assembly of young starlets with little hope of immediate success.
The managerial merry-go-round at Stamford Bridge is spinning again, with Liam Rosenior set to arrive in London to finalise his appointment as Chelseaâs new head coach following Enzo Marescaâs exit. However, BlueCo have wasted no time lining up a replacement for the Strasbourg dugout, with former Wolves boss Gary O'Neil emerging as the shock contender to swap the Premier League for Ligue 1.
Strasbourg boss Liam Rosenior looks set to be named Chelsea's new head coach after reportedly flying to London for final contract negotiations. Days after Enzo Maresca was sacked by the Blues, the Premier League giants appear to be moving quickly to find a successor, with the former Brighton defender their top target. Indeed, it seems the 41-year-old could be in the dugout for Chelsea's next domestic outing against Fulham in midweek.

Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior has again been asked about his future amid speculation he is wanted at Chelsea to take over from Enzo Maresca.

Chelsea are reportedly 'intensifying' their efforts to recruit Strasbourg boss Liam Rosenior following the sacking of Enzo Maresca. The Italian head coach was dismissed after 18 months in charge following a fraying of relations with the club's owners, BlueCo. Now, the Premier League outfit have set their sights on the 41-year-old Englishman, who may have opened the door to a mid-season switch.
Liam Rosenior has spoken out after being touted to replace Enzo Maresca at Chelsea. The Italian was dismissed from his post on New Year's Day and the Blues are in the process of selecting a new head coach, with Rosenior thought to be the leading candidate at this stage. The 41-year-old has been in charge of the Ligue 1 side for over a year and helped them qualify for the Conference League in his first season.
We're only halfway through the season but Chelsea are looking for a new manager, after parting company with Enzo Maresca on New Year's Day. On the one hand, the Italian's exit is a surprise, given he won both the Conference League and Club World Cup during his first season at Stamford Bridge. However, it had been clear for some time that Maresca wasn't entirely happy in west London, with the former Leicester City boss sensationally going public with a perceived lack of support within the club after last month's Champions League loss to Atalanta.
Chelsea are back in the hunt for a new manager, after taking the decision to part with Enzo Maresca, and reports in France claim the Premier League giants âcouldnât care lessâ about who they impact when bringing in a new boss. It has been suggested that Liam Rosenior, who is calling the shots at the Bluesâ sister club Strasbourg, is being lined up for a return to England.
Enzo Marescaâs departure from Chelsea has sparked movement elsewhere, with Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior reportedly among the candidates under consideration at Stamford Bridge, according to The Guardian. Should Rosenior leave for Chelsea, Minnesota United head coach Eric Ramsay has been linked as a potential replacement at Strasbourg. Minnesota finished fourth in MLSâs Western Conference last season.
