Chelsea have officially parted ways with manager Liam Rosenior following a disastrous run of results that culminated in a 3-0 defeat to Brighton in the Premier League.
The decision, confirmed on Wednesday evening, comes barely 24 hours after the heavy loss that pushed Chelsea down to seventh place and severely damaged their hopes of securing Champions League qualification.
The defeat also marked the club’s fifth consecutive league loss under Rosenior, a run of form that ultimately sealed his fate.
Rosenior had only taken over in January, arriving from Strasbourg to replace Enzo Maresca, but his short tenure has ended in disappointment amid mounting pressure and poor performances.
Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported the development on X, stating that Chelsea had made the decision to “SACK Liam Rosenior with immediate effect,” adding that it was “over after four months, five consecutive defeats and no goals scored.”
Chelsea are now expected to begin the search for a new permanent manager as they attempt to salvage their season and revive their European ambitions.
