Liam Rosenior extended his contract with the Racing Club in Strasbourg until 2028
In a reaction marked by emotion and sincerity, Liam Rosenior expressed his joy after the announcement of the extension of his contract with the Racing Club in Strasbourg until 2028. Arrived in Alsace last summer, the coach does not hide his attachment to the club, the city, and the human adventure he shares with his players and collaborators. “It’s probably the best decision in my career to come here,” he says.
For Rosenior, every moment at Racing is a pleasure: “I enjoyed every moment so far. I enjoyed working with the players, I enjoyed meeting great people in this city.” Despite the distance from his family, who remained in England because of his children’s studies, he insists that his sacrifices are made in the values and ambition of the Alsatian club.
The 40-year-old coach is not influenced by public opinion and remains focused on his goals: “I can’t control what people think of me. I can only do my job as best I can. I believe this club can accomplish great things in the future.” While rumours suggest that several players will start this summer, Rosenior refuses to dwell on it: “No one thinks about it. We are all focused on something very, very special as a group,” he says with conviction.
Its extension of the contract is not linked to the sporting results of this season, but to its deep commitment to the Strasbourg project: “It is not a decision based on whether to end up in the Champions League, in the Europa League, in the Conference League or not at all. It is a question of what is best for me and to help this club move forward in the long term.” Rosenior also stressed the importance of the collective in the progress made by Racing: “I am fully committed, no matter what happens at the end of the season. I feel that we have developed and advanced the club together, not only me, but also the staff, the board of directors, the leaders and the players.”
In conclusion, the Strasbourg coach sends a clear message: his faith in the future of the Racing Club in Strasbourg is unwavering. More than a contractual commitment, this extension symbolizes a true confidence pact with a club he wants to take to the top.
Eirik Horneland returns to defeat of ASSE at the Meinau
Asse coach Eirik Horneland returned to his team’s defeat at the Meinau (3-1), and conceded that his opponent had been much better. Saint-Étienne will have chautted Strasbourg, equalized and made the Racing doubt for more than an hour of play. But the Greens fell face to face stronger, according to the words of their Norwegian coach Eirik Horneland: “Strasbourg was a better team tonight. He managed to control the game and deserves his victory. We lacked mental presence, we lacked energy, we were slow in all sectors with and without balloons. My players were below the expected level, the lines were too far away, we had trouble finding connections between the players and our pass game lost in efficiency. The derby won against Lyon should have given us more confidence in the match against Strasbourg, but when we lack speed, it’s more complicated.”.
