Paris FC on Tuesday appointed Liam Rosenior as their new head coach on a contract running until June 2028.
“The English manager has signed a contract with the club until June 2028 and will take up his post on Thursday, July 9, when the squad returns for pre-season training,” the Ligue 1 club said in a statement.
Rosenior succeeds Antoine Kombouare, who took charge in February and guided Paris FC away from relegation danger to an 11th-place finish, highlighted by victories over Monaco and champions Paris Saint-Germain.
“Following this season and after discussions between all parties involved, it was decided to bring this collaboration to an end in order to open a new chapter in the club’s history,” the club said.
The appointment marks Rosenior’s third managerial role in less than a year.
The 41-year-old was dismissed by Chelsea in April after spending fewer than four months in charge, having previously left Strasbourg, where his expansive style of play helped lift the French club into the top half of Ligue 1.
“Aged 41, Liam Rosenior already has a wealth of experience at the highest level,” Paris FC said.
“He has quickly established himself as one of the most promising coaches of his generation.”
Antoine Arnault, representing the Arnault family, which owns the club through luxury goods group LVMH, welcomed the appointment.
“My family and I are delighted to welcome Liam to our club and to see him return to our league here in France,” Arnault said.
“I have always been impressed by his philosophy of play and by what he has built with his teams, which often consist of young players.”
