Malo Gusto Backs Under-Pressure Liam Rosenior After Chelsea's Four-Game Slide

The show of support hints at board patience with a manager hired in January.

Overview

  • Chelsea full-back Malo Gusto told ESPN he views Liam Rosenior as a top coach and said the squad stands behind him.
  • Chelsea are on a four-match losing run that includes an 8-2 Champions League exit to Paris Saint-Germain and league defeats to Newcastle and Everton.
  • Gusto said the mid-season removal of Enzo Maresca shocked players and he linked the loss of rhythm to switching managers and systems.
  • Media reports say club leaders plan a longer view on Rosenior’s project and note his long-term contract is understood to include a break clause.
  • Rosenior replaced Maresca in January after a trophy-winning start to the season and his arrival drew online scepticism that has grown during the slump.
