talkSPORT understands ex-Hull City manager Rosenior has immediately emerged as the frontrunner to replace Maresca.

He is well known to Chelsea chiefs Behdad Eghbali and Todd Boehly, who also own Ligue 1 club Strasbourg as part of their BlueCo empire.

Rosenior said: “There’s a lot of noise, a lot of speculation, but as a coach, if you get involved, you fail. My job is here, I love this club.

“I didn’t talk to the players about it. No need, they’re online and I had a few jokes. But we’re focused on our work. The goal is to continue creating great things here.

“In life, there are zero guarantees. You never know what tomorrow will bring. I’m just doing my job.

“There’s already been speculation. I don’t want to guarantee how long I’ll be here, but I enjoy myself here every day. I intend to continue doing so as long as I’m here.

“I love this club, but I can’t guarantee anything. Nobody can.”
