Football Daily

Available for 27 days

As Liam Rosenior agrees to become Chelsea's next manager, Euro Leagues looks at the impact on his old club, Strasbourg, and how he'll fit in at Stamford Bridge. Kelly Cates is joined first by senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel and Doncaster Rovers striker Billy Sharp, who played under Rosenior at Hull City. They discuss his management style, the step up to managing a club the size of Chelsea and his tricky task of winning over the fans. Then Kelly is joined by Mina Rzouki, Guillem Balague and Julien Laurens for a continental look on Ruben Amorim leaving Manchester United - does the Premier League have a problem with Sporting Directors, and could United look to Europe for their new manager? And they cover how Bayern Munich’s star prodigy, 17-year-old Lennart Karl, has openly said that he one day dreams of playing for Real Madrid!
