From dream to nightmare.
After weeks of struggle and a string of disastrous matches, Chelsea decided to bring Liam Rosenior’s spell on the Blues bench to an early end.
On Wednesday evening, the London club officially announced the departure of its coach just 13 matches after his arrival. Assistant coach Calum McFarlane will take over on an interim basis, the statement said.
Brought in from Strasbourg to succeed the resigned Enzo Maresca, Liam Rosenior never managed to impose his style or authority on the Blues squad.
With a 48% win rate, he leaves with one of the worst records in the club’s recent history, just ahead of Graham Potter (38%).
His tenure was notably marked by a dreadful run of five consecutive Premier League defeats without scoring a single goal.
Also comprehensively knocked out by PSG, the former Strasbourg manager endured a nightmare on the Blues bench. In particular, with senior dressing-room figures openly expressing their desire to leave and their regret over Enzo Maresca’s departure.
It now remains to be seen where Liam Rosenior will land next and who will succeed him at Chelsea.
