STRABOURG, France - Strasbourg coach Liam Rosenior – reportedly the first choice target to replace Enzo Maresca at Chelsea – said on Jan 2 that he was taking no “notice” of the rumours.

Italian Maresca left Chelsea on Jan 1

Strasbourg are owned by Chelsea’s parent company BlueCo and Rosenior impressed in his first season at the club by guiding the side to a seventh-placed finish.

“I don’t take notice. If you’re a manager and you take notice of what’s being said in the media, you will probably go crazy,” Rosenior said ahead of Saturday’s trip to Nice in Ligue 1.

“My job is here. I love this club. I’m working to win the game tomorrow.

“Of course, I’m aware that there’s speculation, but I think that’s a reflection on the great work that everybody’s done at this football club.”

However, when pressed by a journalist on whether or not he would still be at Strasbourg in six months’ time, Rosenior was more vague.
