Liam Rosenior: Chelsea sack head coach after three months in charge
BBC • • sports
Key Points:
- Chelsea have dismissed head coach Liam Rosenior after less than four months, following a run of five consecutive Premier League defeats without scoring, a first since 1912.
- Rosenior, who signed a five-and-a-half-year contract in January, won 11 of 23 games across all competitions but saw the team slip to seventh in the league, jeopardizing Champions League qualification.
- The club cited recent poor results and performances as the reason for the sacking, despite Rosenior's professionalism and integrity during his tenure.
- Potential replacements include Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola, Fulham’s Marco Silva, and former Dortmund coach Edin Terzic, with Calum McFarlane appointed interim manager until the end of the season.
- McFarlane, Rosenior’s assistant, will lead Chelsea in the upcoming FA Cup semi-final against Leeds at Wembley as the club seeks stability and a long-term head coach solution.
