Chelsea sacks Rosenior after 107 days

Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has been sacked after Tuesday evening’s fifth consecutive Premier League defeat, Chelsea announced on Wednesday evening.

The club held a meeting to discuss his future. 

But the 3-0 defeat and slim chances of securing Champions League football for next season have meant that Rosenior is no longer in charge of the “Blues”. 

Rosenior’s tenure as Chelsea head coach lasted just four months. 

He signed a six-year contract in January, but has lost seven of his last eight matches. 
Calum McFarlane has been appointed interim manager until the end of the season. 

Chelsea play Leeds in the FA Cup semi-final at “Wembley” on Sunday. 

Rosenior, who was sacked after 107 days, had been appointed to take charge of the team in place of Enzo Maresca. 

Chelsea failed to score in their last five league defeats, the team’s worst run since 1912. 

He leaves the team in seventh place in the Premier League.
