Paris FC has officially announced the appointment of Liam Rosenior as their new head coach, replacing Antoine Kombouaré at the helm of the capital club. According to reports from L'Équipe, the 41-year-old English manager signed a contract running until 2028 and is scheduled to formally assume his coaching duties this Thursday as pre-season training resumes.

The managerial transition follows a brief stint for Rosenior at Chelsea, where he departed in late April after just four months in charge. Prior to his spell in the Premier League, the tactician earned widespread acclaim during the 2024–2025 campaign with Strasbourg, successfully guiding the Alsatian outfit to a seventh-place finish in Ligue 1 and securing qualification for the UEFA Conference League.

Speaking on the high-profile hire, Paris FC Sporting Director Marco Neppe emphasized that Rosenior possesses all the qualities the club was seeking, highlighting "his management skills and his ability to unite a squad around a clear vision." Furthermore, club representative Antoine Arnault noted that the coach impressed leadership with "his playing philosophy and what he built with his previous teams," adding that "many players have expressed their enthusiasm" regarding the appointment.

From editorial monitoring, this appointment represents a significant statement of intent from Paris FC's ownership as they aim to establish themselves as a top-flight mainstay. Rosenior inherits the squad from Kombouaré, who arrived in February to replace Stéphane Gilli on an 18-month deal and successfully steered the newly promoted side from early-season trouble to a respectable 11th-place finish in Ligue 1.
