Overview
- Chelsea, which dismissed Rosenior on Wednesday after a crisis meeting, named Calum McFarlane interim head coach through the end of the season.
- Chelsea lost five straight Premier League matches without scoring, including a 3–0 defeat at Brighton, and slipped to seventh place outside Champions League contention.
- Rosenior arrived from RC Strasbourg in January on a contract reported to run to 2032, and several English outlets report his payoff is about £24 million.
- His spell lasted roughly 105 days across 23 matches, making him the sixth coaching change since BlueCo took control in 2022.
- The club now targets damage control with an FA Cup semi-final against Leeds on Sunday and a public search for a long-term manager.
