Chelsea has sacked head coach Liam Rosenior after a poor run of results, the Premier League club announced on Wednesday.
Rosenior, who replaced Enzo Maresca in January, won just 11 of his 23 games in charge at the London-based club.
Chelsea is seventh in the points table after 34 matches and is seven points adrift of qualifying for next season’s Champions League. The Blues have lost their last five league games without scoring a goal, with the latest defeat being a 0-3 loss at Brighton and Hove Albion on Tuesday.
“On behalf of everyone at Chelsea FC, we would like to place on record our gratitude to Liam and his staff for all their efforts during their time with the club,” read a club statement.
“Liam has always conducted himself with the highest integrity and professionalism following his appointment midway through the season.
“This has not been a decision the club has taken lightly, however recent results and performances have fallen below the necessary standards with still so much more to play for this season. Everyone at Chelsea FC wishes Liam every success in the future.”
The club stated that Calum McFarlane will take charge of duties, which also includes an FA Cup semifinal on Sunday against Leeds United, on an interim basis until the end of the season.
