Chelsea FC have dismissed head coach Liam Rosenior following a damaging run of five straight Premier League defeats without scoring — a bleak record not seen at the club since 1912. The decision came shortly after Tuesday’s heavy 3-0 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion, a result that intensified pressure on the manager.
Rosenior, who took charge at Stamford Bridge in January on a long-term deal, struggled to steady the team, winning just 11 of his 23 matches in all competitions. His tenure quickly unravelled as performances dipped sharply, leaving Chelsea short of attacking spark and defensive assurance. The team’s slide to seventh place has dealt a serious blow to their ambitions of securing a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
Speaking after the Brighton defeat, Rosenior described his side’s display as “indefensible” and “unacceptable”, as frustration boiled over among travelling supporters. The club, in an official statement, acknowledged his professionalism and conduct but stressed that results and performances had fallen below expectations at a crucial stage of the campaign.
