Chelsea set to announce offbeat managerial appointmentPrutton on Roseniors Chelsea challengeThis will provide a brand new challenge for Rosenior, but one that one of his former colleagues believes he is up for.Prior to moving into the dugout, the 41-year-old was a regular in the television studio, where he worked as a pundit for Sky Sports. Rosenior often worked alongside former Leeds United and Southampton midfielder David Prutton, who quickly spotted that the ex-Fulham man had a keen tactical awareness.Liams insights were always very well informed hed done thorough research on teams before coming into the studio, Prutton tells FourFourTwo.Thats not always the case for ex-players a lot rely on their experience to give their opinion on the feel of a game.Get FourFourTwo NewsletterThe best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week.Contact me with news and offers from other Future brandsReceive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsorsBy submitting your information you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.For Liam, the tactical side was important. Sometimes we would have debates in the studio and Liam made his points very eloquently. He was brilliant at it.Todd Boehlys consortium has been at Chelsea for less than four years, but they have already chewed up and spat out Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter, Frank Lampard and Mauricio Pochettino as well as Maresca.Unlike some of those names, Roseniors appointment was met with scepticism by some Chelsea fans, who questioned his experience and credentials.That level of scrutiny and criticism will be the main difference for Liam in this role, Prutton continues. Every decision he makes, every press conference and every misstep is going to be met with countless column inches, radio phone-ins, TikTok rants and all the rest of it.This is the big league and everyone is watching. The way he handles that will be key.TOPICSChelseaPremier LeagueJoe MewisSocial Links NavigationFor more than a decade, Joe Mewis has worked in football journalism as a reporter and editor.
