Chelsea sacked Liam Rosenior on Wednesday less than four months after appointing him, with Calum McFarlane appointed as interim for the remainder of the season.

Rosenior is the second head coach to leave Chelsea this season following the departure of Enzo Maresca, and represents another failure for the sporting hierarchy.

Chelsea are reportedly going to take their time over appointing a new head coach, but fans are rapidly losing patience with the ownership.

There’s disbelief that the sporting directors are still in post and allowed to pick another manager having made so many mistakes.

The sporting directors are believed to still retain the backing of the ownership, with the search for a new head coach underway.

It’s been reported Chelsea players feel the next head coach needs to be a big character who can command the respect of the dressing room.

The Athletic have reported Iraola is one of seven or eight names under consideration, but Chelsea insist no talks had taken place before Rosenior’s departure.
