Super Eagles winger Moses Simon will work under a new manager next season after Paris FC confirmed the appointment of Liam Rosenior as the club’s new head coach, Footynaija.com reports.
The Ligue 1 side announced on Tuesday that Rosenior has signed a contract until June 2028 and will officially begin work on July 9 when the team resumes pre-season training. The 41 year old replaces Antoine Kombouaré, whose departure marks the start of a new chapter for the club.
Rosenior arrives with a growing reputation as one of English football’s top young coaches. A former defender, he enjoyed a lengthy playing career before moving into management, taking charge of Derby County, Hull City and Strasbourg. He also spent time coaching within Chelsea’s academy setup earlier in his coaching career.
