Enzo Fernández, managerless again: Chelsea sacked Rosenior | OneFootball

After what was their seventh defeat in eight matches, and following his explosive remarks aimed at his players, manager 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 required standards, with still much to play for this season,” reads the brief statement announcing the departure of the now former head coach.

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

After the defeat, to make matters worse, Rosenior’s comments 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 came with the Briton being dismissed from his post.

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