Strasbourg news

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 club’s “humiliating subservience to Chelsea” 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 Blues’ 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.
