Chelsea Sacks Liam Rosenior

Chelsea Sacks Liam Rosenior

Chelsea Football Club has parted ways with head coach Liam Rosenior after a historic slump that saw the team lose five straight league matches without scoring a single goal.

Rosenior, who signed a six-and-a-half-year contract in January, lasted less than four months as the club's owners, BlueCo, opted for a fresh change in direction.

Calum McFarlane has been named interim manager for the remainder of the season, starting with a pivotal FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.

The sacking marks the tenth managerial change for the London club in the last ten seasons, highlighting ongoing instability at Stamford Bridge.
