Chelsea have drawn up an initial three-man managerial shortlist as the search for Liam Rosenior’s successor kicks off, according to BBC.

The Blues sent Rosenior packing after just 106 days in charge of the club, ending a short and difficult spell that never quite found its footing.

Having done an impressive job at sister club RC Strasbourg, the owners were convinced Rosenior was the right man to replace Enzo Maresca.

However, that decision has now blown up in their faces, with the Englishman sent packing almost as quickly as his appointment was confirmed.

Despite signing a shocking six-year deal with Chelsea, Rosenior lasted only four months before being sacked following a deplorable run of results.

He only managed 11 wins in 23 games across all competitions, a record that failed to meet expectations at a club of Chelsea’s stature.

The breaking point came in Tuesday’s humiliating 3-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, which extended Chelsea’s poor run to five straight league losses without scoring.

After that defeat, Rosenior did not hide from the criticism. He described his team’s display as “indefensible” and “unacceptable,” echoing the frustration of travelling supporters who made their feelings clear.
