LIAM ROSENIOR SACKED AS CHELSEA HEAD COACH FOLLOWING WRETCHED RUN

Liam Rosenior has been sacked by Chelsea following a run of five consecutive Premier League defeats in which the team failed to score.

The former Hull and Strasbourg boss signed a six-and-a-half-year deal in January and started brightly but the team have plummeted down the table and are almost certain to miss out on qualification for the Champions League.

They were beaten comfortably 3-0 by Brighton at the Amex Stadium on Tuesday, widely considered to have been the team’s worst performance of the season.

Callum McFarlane will take charge until the end of the season, starting with Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Leeds.
