Chelsea management in discussions regarding Liam Rosenior’s role — sources
Discussions are ongoing regarding manager Liam Rosenior’s future at Chelsea, according to sources reported by ESPN.
The Blues experienced a heavy 3-0 loss at Brighton on Tuesday and appear likely to fall short of Champions League qualification, currently sitting in seventh place in the Premier League.
Sources indicated that players were given a day off on Wednesday, but Rosenior is scheduled to meet with club executives, which is customary following matches.
Chelsea had been inclined to keep Rosenior in his role regardless of their Champions League prospects for next season; however, they have grown increasingly worried about the recent decline in performance and rising discontent among fans.
A demonstration against BlueCo’s ownership occurred prior to last weekend’s home loss to Manchester United, while Rosenior faced criticism from some away supporters during Chelsea’s lackluster performance at Brighton on Tuesday.
