“They didn’t treat him right in Germany, but he has a major role in my project. I am bringing him back to lead our front line” — Liam Rosenior’s “savage” swipe at Bayern Munich has just been leaked following the decision on Nicolas Jackson’s future!
In a stunning turn of events that has sent shockwaves from West London to Bavaria, newly appointed Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has reportedly launched a scathing verbal assault on Bayern Munich regarding their handling of striker Nicolas Jackson.
Following a high-level summit to discuss Chelsea’s 2026/27 squad assembly, Rosenior’s unfiltered assessment of the German giants was leaked, signaling a definitive end to Jackson’s “unhappy” exile at the Allianz Arena.
The Leak: Rosenior’s “Savage” Defense of Jackson
The core of the controversy stems from Rosenior’s staunch belief that Jackson—currently on a season-long loan in Munich—has been systematically undervalued and misused by the Bundesliga leaders. The leaked transcript highlights Rosenior’s protective stance over the 24-year-old Senegalese international:
> “They didn’t treat him right in Germany. He’s been a bit-part player in a system that doesn’t appreciate his chaos. In my project, he isn’t a backup—he is a cornerstone. I am bringing him back to lead our front line.”

This “savage” swipe refers to Jackson’s struggles under Vincent Kompany, where he has managed only seven starts this season, primarily serving as an understudy to Harry Kane.
The Context: A Failed German Experiment
Jackson’s move to Bayern in the summer of 2025 was intended to be a stepping stone to global stardom, but the numbers tell a different story.
The Loan Breakdown
* Financial Stakes: Bayern paid a £14.3m loan fee, with a £56.2m obligation to buy if Jackson reached 40 appearances of 45+ minutes.
* Current Status: With only 22 appearances and only seven of those meeting the minutes-played threshold, the “mandatory” purchase clause is now statistically impossible to trigger.
* The Verdict: Reports from The Times confirm that Bayern have no intention of negotiating a separate permanent deal, effectively handing the player back to Chelsea this June.
The “Rosenior Revolution”: A Tactical U-Turn
When Enzo Maresca departed Chelsea on New Year’s Day 2026, the door for Jackson’s return swung wide open. Unlike his predecessor, who sanctioned the loan after a fallout with the striker, Rosenior views Jackson’s erratic energy as a perfect fit for his high-intensity “BlueCo” identity.
Why Jackson Returns to the “Project”
* Tactical Versatility: Rosenior reportedly wants to utilize Jackson’s ability to stretch defenses, moving away from the more rigid “Positional Play” of the Maresca era.
* Psychological Rejuvenation: By publicly (and privately) slamming Bayern’s treatment of the player, Rosenior is effectively “love-bombing” the striker to ensure he returns with a point to prove.
* Squad Dynamics: While Chelsea have added Joao Pedro and Liam Delap to their ranks, Rosenior allegedly views Jackson as the unique profile needed to spearhead a three-pronged attack.
The Fallout in Munich
Sources close to the Allianz Arena suggest the German hierarchy is “unimpressed” by Rosenior’s remarks, viewing them as a lack of professional courtesy. However, with the Bundesliga title race heating up, Bayern seem content to let Jackson finish the season as a rotational asset before shipping him back to London.
For Jackson, the message is clear: the nightmare in Munich is ending, and the “Rosenior Era” at Stamford Bridge is waiting with open arms.
