Enzo Fernández was left without a DT again: Liam Rosenior was fired from Chelsea due to poor results

In the midst of one of their worst streaks in recent times, with seven losses in eight games, Chelsea decided to end Liam Rosenior's cycle as coach. The club made its departure official through a statement in which it stressed that the recent results were "below the necessary standards

”.

The final nail in the coffin was the 3-0 win against Brighton, which was added to a series of crashes against Manchester United, Manchester City, Everton and Newcastle in the Premier League, all without scoring goals. The last time the Blues failed to convert to five consecutive losses was in the 1912/13 season

.

The cycle of the English coach, which he took office in January after the departure of Enzo Maresca, lasted just three and a half months. His arrival from Racing Strasbourg had raised expectations, but the results

were never good.

The declarations after the last defeat ended up sealing his fate. “It was unacceptable in every aspect of the game. The attitude was unacceptable. I continue to defend the players, but they are indefensible. Something has to change drastically,” said Rosenior, in a message that exposed internal tension

.

That change finally materialized with his dismissal, which will also entail a heavy economic cost for the club. The coach had signed a contract for six and a half years with a salary, according to The Sun, close to 4.6 million euros per year, so the termination could be around 27 million

euros. On

an interim basis, the team will be led by Calum McFarlane, current U21 coach, while the management begins the search for a new coach. It will be the second change in office so far this year for Chelsea, which is going through one of its most profound sporting crises in recent times

.

Rosenior's numbers with Chelsea Since his arrival at the

beginning of the year, the English coach managed just 23 games, with a record of 11 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses, including the negative streak mentioned above and the double drop by a rout against Paris Saint-Germain (5-2 and 3-0) in the round of 16 of the

Champions League.
