Chelsea legend John Terry has extended his support to Liam Rosenior, who has been appointed as Chelsea’s new manager on a long-term contract running until 2032. Speaking ahead of Rosenior’s first game in charge, Terry praised the new manager’s experience and leadership qualities, emphasising the importance of stability at Stamford Bridge.
“Liam has an opportunity to come into the building, gain the respect of the players, and set the tone in those first training sessions,” Terry said. “With the fixture list ahead, he won’t get much time on the pitch to implement his style, so results in the coming weeks will be crucial.”
Terry also highlighted the upcoming January transfer window, expressing hope that the Chelsea board will support Rosenior with reinforcements. “Hopefully the owners give him the backing to bring in players who can strengthen the squad,” he added, inviting fans to share their thoughts on potential signings.
The former Chelsea defender and captain emphasised that, regardless of past managerial changes, supporters will rally behind Rosenior. “Chelsea fans always get behind their manager, and we’ll do that on Wednesday as he takes charge against Fulham,” Terry said.
Rosenior inherits a club in need of direction, with a demanding schedule and high expectations. Terry’s message underscores the challenge ahead: delivering results, earning player trust, and stabilising Chelsea while navigating a busy first season.
