Chelsea sack Liam Rosenior after just three months

  • Chelsea have sacked manager Liam Rosenior just three months after he signed a six-year contract with the Premier League club.
  • The decision follows a 3-0 defeat to Brighton, which extended Chelsea's run to five consecutive Premier League losses without scoring, marking their worst league form in 114 years.
  • Rosenior had publicly criticised his players, calling their performance 'indefensible' after the Brighton match.
  • Calum McFarlane will take over as Interim Head Coach until the end of the season, starting with Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Leeds.
