Liam Rosenior: Former Hull City boss is new Strasbourg manager, replacing Patrick Vieira
Former Hull City boss Liam Rosenior has been appointed manager of French club RC Strasbourg.
The 40-year-old led the Tigers to seventh place in the Championship last season but was sacked in May as Hull fell short of the play-offs.
He replaces Patrick Vieira, who left Strasbourg on July 18 by mutual consent.
Rosenior said: “I am happy to join Racing, a historic French club, with supporters renowned for their passion and loyalty.”
He told Strasbourg’s website: “I will do everything to make the [Stade de la] Meinau proud of its team and its players. I can’t wait to get to work.”
The Alsace club are owned by BlueCo, the company run by Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali which also owns Chelsea.
Strasbourg finished 13th out of 20 teams in Ligue 1 last season.
Club president Marc Keller said: “We are pleased to welcome Liam, a young coach recognised for his ability to make his teams play well and to help his players progress.”
