Enzo Fernández, managerless again: Chelsea sacked Rosenior | OneFootball

After what was a seventh defeat in eight matches, and following his explosive comments aimed at his players, coach Liam Rosenior was dismissed from his position at Chelsea, something the London club announced through its official website.

“It has not been a decision taken lightly, but recent results and performances have fallen below the standards required, with still much to play for this season,” reads the brief statement announcing the departure of the now former manager.

The 3-0 defeat to Brighton had left Rosenior with one foot and a half out of the club. Naturally, it was hardly surprising given that the loss was the fifth in a row without even scoring a goal, something that had not happened to the club since the 1912/13 season. Before that came Manchester United (1-0), Manchester City (3-0), Everton (3-0), and Newcastle (1-0).

After the defeat, to make matters worse, Rosenior’s remarks did little to calm tensions: “It was unacceptable in every aspect of the game. The attitude was unacceptable. I keep defending the players, but they are indefensible. Something has to change drastically.” In the end, that change arrived, with the Briton being dismissed from his post.

Now, Calum McFarlane, coach of the Blues’ Under-21 side, will take charge of the team on an interim basis. Meanwhile, Chelsea will begin the search for a new manager, the second of the season, following Enzo Maresca’s departure at the start of the year after 18 months in charge of the club.
