Arabic version: تشيلسي ينفصل عن المدرب ليام روزنيور

Chelsea Football Club has terminated the contract of head coach Liam Rosenior following a disappointing run of five consecutive Premier League losses, during which the team failed to score a single goal. This marks the first time since 1912 that the club has experienced such a scoring drought.

Rosenior, who joined Chelsea in January on a five-and-a-half-year deal, managed to secure only 11 wins out of 23 matches across all competitions. The decision comes on the heels of a 3-0 defeat to Brighton on Tuesday, where Rosenior described the team’s performance as “indefensible” and “unacceptable” as he faced angry chants from the travelling supporters.

The recent poor performance has seen Chelsea drop to seventh place in the Premier League, jeopardizing their chances of qualifying for the upcoming Champions League season. In a statement, the club acknowledged Rosenior’s integrity and professionalism but emphasized that the recent results did not meet the club’s standards.

“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,” Chelsea stated.

The club will now look to appoint a new head coach as they aim to turn around their fortunes before the season concludes. According to BBC News, more updates on the situation are expected to follow.
