Chelsea have dismissed head coach Liam Rosenior after a string of five consecutive Premier League losses, the club confirmed on Wednesday. The 41-year-old, who joined from French club Strasbourg in December, leaves after just over three months in charge. The final defeat came on Tuesday when Brighton beat Chelsea 3-0, marking the first time since 1912 the club has failed to score in five successive league matches. The result leaves Chelsea seven points behind the current Champions League qualification spots.
"Chelsea Football Club has today parted company with Head Coach Liam Rosenior," the club said in a statement. "Liam has always conducted himself with the highest integrity and professionalism following his appointment midway through the season." The club acknowledged the decision was not taken lightly but cited recent performances as falling short of required standards. Calum McFarlane will take over as caretaker manager, beginning with the FA Cup semi-final against Leeds United on Sunday.
