For the second time this season, Calum McFarlane is temporarily back in the dugout for Chelsea to see through the end of what has been a turbulent 2025–26 campaign at Stamford Bridge.
Less than 24 hours after Chelsea suffered an embarrassing 3–0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, the club cut ties with Liam Rosenior just 106 days into his six-and-a-half year contract with the west London outfit. The defeat was the Blues’ fifth in a row in the Premier League and seventh in their last eight across all competitions.
