Chelsea fullback Malo Gusto has insisted that the team collectively “believe” in Liam Rosenior during an impassioned defense of a manager being increasingly scrutinized and, by others, unfairly ridiculed.
Rosenior took over from Enzo Maresca at the turn of the year in dramatic circumstances. Airlifted in from Chelsea’s sister club Strasbourg, the 41-year-old’s only previous managerial experience had come in the English second tier. Initial doubts over Rosenior’s suitability were quelled by a run of seven wins from his first nine games, the only two defeats at the hands of Premier League leaders Arsenal.
