Rosenior's last post-match interview as Chelsea head coach

Chelsea have sacked head coach Liam Rosenior after less than four months in charge of the club.

Rosenior signed a five-and-a-half year deal at arriving from French club Strasbourg, also owned by Chelsea co-owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.

But he managed just 11 wins in 23 matches across all competitions and Tuesday's 3-0 defeat at Brighton was Chelsea's fifth consecutive league defeat without scoring, the club's worst scoreless run since 1912.

Rosenior described the performance as "indefensible" and "unacceptable" after facing angry chants from Chelsea's travelling supporters on the south coast.
