Why Chelsea’s Liam Rosenior hails Michael Carrick as “a very, very good coach”

Rosenior said in his press conference, as per Football London:

“Well, Michael, firstly, as a player, I greatly admire him. Secondly, as a coach, I know he’s an amazing coach because he did a fantastic job with Middlesbrough for a period of time where they were pushing consistently at the top end of the Championship.

“I’m not surprised in terms of the points return that he’s got there because he’s a very, very good coach and a good guy. But we know we have to play our best to win a difficult game on Saturday.”

It will be interesting to see how the tactical battle between the two managers pans out.

Carrick backed for permanent role

But as we wait for the fireworks at Stamford Bridge, the question remains: will Rosenior’s indirect endorsement of Carrick as the next permanent United boss be ignored?

At a time when doubts are starting to creep in over Carrick’s suitability for the role, the Blues gaffer has clearly handed INEOS further reasons why letting Carrick go would see them miss out on a very, very good coach.
