Liam Rosenior has been fired as Chelsea manager after a desperate Premier League run of five losses without scoring a goal.
The decision was taken on Wednesday evening, a day after the Blues lost 3-0 to Brighton in the Premier League.
This defeat dropped Chelsea into seventh place and also dented their hopes of Champions League qualification.
Rosenior’s exit was confirmed on Wednesday, less than four months into the job and just four days before it plays in an FA Cup semifinal at Wembley.
Assistant Calum McFarlane will take charge on an interim basis until the end of 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,” Chelsea said in a statement.
