Rossinier Overcomes Chelsea Setback, Set for Ligue 1 Return

Former Chelsea manager Liam Rossinier is reportedly in talks with Paris FC for a coaching role at the club, according to Fabrizio Romano. The 41-year-old Englishman gained recognition for his work at Strasbourg, which led to his appointment as manager at Stamford Bridge. However, his tenure lasted only 107 days, during which he managed Chelsea in just 23 matches. The Blues sacked him in April, despite him signing a six-year contract earlier that year. Media outlets in England revealed at the time that Chelsea paid Rossinier a compensation package of £4 million.

According to Romano, Paris FC and Rossinier are working on a two-year contract with an option for an additional 12 months. He is set to replace Antoine Kombouaré, who also had a short stint after being appointed on February 22nd this year.

The team was scheduled to begin pre-season training on Wednesday, but due to the impending changes, the club has postponed the start of training by eight days, adds L'Equipe.
