Liam Rosenior signs new Strasbourg deal after impressive first season

Liam Rosenior is confident he can “build something special” at Strasbourg after extending his stay at the Ligue 1 club until June 2028.

Englishman Rosenior, who spent 18 months in charge of Hull before being sacked in May 2024, succeeded Patrick Vieira last July and has had a successful first season in France.

Strasbourg are challenging for European qualification in seventh spot with three games of the domestic campaign remaining.

“Signing for Racing is the best decision of my career, and it’s a source of immense pride to extend my contract here,” Rosenior, 40, told the official Strasbourg website.

“The renewed confidence shown by president Marc Keller and the club means a lot to me; I want to repay that confidence on the pitch.

“From the moment I arrived, I recognised myself in the values ​​of intensity, courage and unity that make the people of Strasbourg and Alsace so strong.

“With the staff and management, we work every day to offer them football that lives up to their passion.

“We will continue to give our all to help the club progress, while remaining true to its identity.

“I firmly believe in our project and in the future of Racing: together, we can build something special.”

Keller said: “Liam perfectly embodies our sporting vision and Racing’s values.

“He makes our supporters proud by offering an attractive game, driven by total commitment and a team that never gives up.

“Liam is doing a very good job and, in this pivotal phase – renovation of the Meinau and building a team with European ambitions – stability on the bench is important.

“It was obvious for the club and (owners) BlueCo to continue the adventure with Liam and his staff.”
