Liam Rosenior has insisted that he 'loves' Strasbourg when asked about rumours linking him to the Chelsea job - but insiders are said to believe he will 'leave like a thief'.
The former Hull City coach, 41, is the leading contender to succeed Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge following the Italian's explosive New Year's day departure.
But when asked about his future, Rosenior told local reporters on Friday: 'There's a lot of noise, a lot of speculation, but as a coach, if you get involved, you fail. My job is here, I love this club.
