Overview
- Liam Rosenior was fired after about three months at Chelsea following five straight Premier League defeats without a goal.
- Paul Scholes called the appointment “crazy” and said few in the game saw Rosenior as the right fit for a club of Chelsea’s size.
- Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness said players did not accept Rosenior’s authority and cited issues involving Enzo Fernández and Marc Cucurella.
- Wyness added that ownership publicly backed Rosenior weeks before reversing course with the sacking.
- Interim coach Calum McFarlane has taken Chelsea to the FA Cup final, and reports link Antonio Conte, Andoni Iraola, Xabi Alonso, Marco Silva, Cesc Fàbregas and Felipe Luis as options for a permanent role after the season.
