Chelsea Sacks Liam Rosenior

Rosenior's tenure reached a breaking point following a spineless 3-0 loss to Brighton, which left the club languishing in seventh place.

Former captain John Terry has expressed deep concern for the club's direction under the current ownership group, BlueCo.

Assistant coach Calum McFarlane has taken interim charge while the search for a successor begins, with Xavi and Cesc Fabregas among the names linked to the role.

The sacking highlights the ongoing instability at Stamford Bridge as the team faces a crucial FA Cup semi-final against Leeds United.
