Gary O’Neil has agreed to become Strasbourg’s manager after Liam Rosenior <\/a>left the French club to join sister club Chelsea.<\/p>\n

O’Neil, 42, has been without a club since he was sacked by Wolves in December 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He previously had a year-long spell at Bournemouth in the 2022-23 season, helping the south coast club avoid relegation before being sacked and replaced by Andoni Iraola.<\/p>\n

His appointment at Strasbourg comes before a Coupe de France tie against third-tier Avranches on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Strasbourg is owned by the same American group as the Chelsea and some supporters have expressed frustration at Rosenior’s exit.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Strasbourg Supporters’ Federation said: “The transfer of Liam Rosenior marks another humiliating step in Racing’s subservience to Chelsea. <\/p>\n

“For two and a half years, along with others, we have been trying to raise the alarm about this.<\/p>\n

“The problem goes far beyond the mid-season sporting impact and the ambitions of a young coach. It is structural – the future of French club football is at stake.”<\/p>\n

In November, Strasbourg president Marc Keller argued that owners BlueCo have been positive for the club, having invested more than \u00a3100m in the summer transfer window, with multi-club ownership now a common reality in modern football. He pointed to investment in the stadium, women’s team and academy.<\/p>\n

Keller and new sporting director David Weir, who joined the French side after leaving Brighton in the summer, oversaw O’Neil’s appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gary O’Neil has agreed to become Strasbourg’s manager after Liam Rosenior left the French club to join sister…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":230883,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":{"0":"post-230882","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230882"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230882\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
