Brighton was fifth straight league defeat without scoring
Interim head coach expected if Rosenior departs
Chelsea are holding a review after a defeat at Brighton that has left Liam Rosenior on the brink of losing his job.
Although club sources have stressed it is standard for debriefs to take place the day after a game, key discussions are taking place at Cobham and a managerial change for the second time this season appears likely. Rosenior, appointed as head coach in January after the departure of Enzo Maresca, has overseen five successive defeats in the Premier League and there are growing concerns that support for him in the dressing room is draining away.
The former Strasbourg manager ripped into his players after a dreadful display against Brighton all but ended their chances of finishing in the top five and earning a Champions League spot. Rosenior criticised their attitude, said “something drastic has to change” and admitted the performance made it look as if there was a disconnect between him and his players. Rosenior has spoken to the sporting leadership team and offered his thoughts on how to get the season back on track.
