Chelsea Football Club has sacked Head Coach Liam Rosenior after just four months in charge of the club following Tuesday’s loss to Brighton.
Liam Rosenoir was appointed in January midway through the season to replace Enzo Maresca who was let go after a string of poor results.
He has now been let go following recent results and performances have fallen below the necessary standards at Chelsea with still so much more to play for this season.
In addition to skepticism from the club’s owners, a number of players are understood to have been unconvinced by the 41-year-old, who moved to Chelsea from their French partner club Strasbourg just over three months ago.
Fans turned on Rosenior at Amex Stadium last night, while the head coach publicly criticised his players after the loss.
He said his his team’s performance in the 3-0 defeat by Brighton – a fifth successive league loss without scoring, which is their worst run for 114 years – was both “indefensible” and “unacceptable”.
Calum McFarlane will take charge of the team as Interim Head Coach until the end of the season with support from existing Club backroom staff, as we strive to achieve European qualification and progress in the FA Cup.
Chelsea are seventh in the Premier League, five points adrift of a top-five spot and Champions League qualification, with four matches remaining.
They face Leeds in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Sunday at 15:00 BST.
