Chelsea part ways with Liam Rosenior after five consecutive defeats without scoring.

Chelsea Football Club has parted ways with head coach Liam Rosenior after a poor run of form, capped off by a 3-0 loss to Brighton on Tuesday night.

The decision was made after the club suffered five consecutive Premier League losses without scoring a single goal, marking their worst offensive slump since 1912.

Rosenior leaves Stamford Bridge a little over three months after signing a long-term deal in January, with the team stuck in mid-table despite heavy investment.

The financial implications of the move are substantial, with The Mirror reporting that the dismissal could cost the club upwards of £24 million in compensation.

BBC Sport has announced that Calum McFarlane will take over as interim head coach for the rest of the season, kicking off with this Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Leeds United at Wembley.

As the search for a permanent successor begins, The Daily Mail suggests that the Chelsea hierarchy is targeting high-profile names such as Diego Simeone and former midfielder Cesc Fabregas.

According to other reports from The Athletic, Filipe Luis and Marco Silva are also being considered as the club looks to steady a season that has quickly gone off the rails.
