Why Chelsea believe 'The Familiar One' Liam Rosenior is the right man: How he promotes youth, an unusual press conference habit, how he will treat star names, his 450-page PowerPoint presentation and what his open letter to Donald Trump proves

Enzo Maresca won 13 out of his first 14 Championship matches as Leicester manager in 2023-24. The one game he lost? To Liam Rosenior’s Hull. The goalscorer in that 1-0 defeat? Liam Delap.

Who knew one otherwise innocuous fixture in English football’s second tier would some day carry such a Chelsea affiliation, now that Rosenior has been installed as Maresca's long-term successor - signing a contract until 2032.
