Rosenior’s position uncertain at Chelsea

Liam Rosenior’s position as Chelsea head coach is becoming increasingly uncertain following Tuesday’s damaging 3-0 defeat by Brighton.

Last week, Rosenior received public and private backing from the club’s hierarchy but none was forthcoming on Wednesday, sources have indicated to BBC Sport.

In addition, a number of players are understood to be unconvinced by the 41-year-old, who moved to Chelsea from their French partner club Strasbourg just over three months ago.

While the players have a day off, the club’s leadership are at the training ground.

It is understood Rosenior’s position is being discussed internally as part of a range of options after the loss, which further damaged their season’s aim of Champions League qualification.

Chelsea fans turned on Rosenior at Amex Stadium, while the head coach publicly criticised his players after the loss.

He said his his team’s performance in the defeat by Brighton – a fifth successive league loss without scoring, which is their worst run for 114 years – was both “indefensible” and “unacceptable”.

Chelsea are seventh in the Premier League, five points adrift of a top-five spot and Champions League qualification, with four matches remaining.

They face Leeds in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Sunday at 15:00 BST.
