Chelsea have no plans of dismissing manager Liam Rosenior despite the club’s embarrassing exit from the Champions League, according to the Daily Mail.
The Blues suffered an 8-2 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16, their heaviest defeat in a Champions League tie.
Chelsea are out of the Champions League and League Cup and risk missing out on a top-five slot after a downturn in form over the past few weeks.
However, Rosenior still has a great relationship with the Chelsea hierarchy and is not in any danger of losing his job.
He signed a six-and-a-half-year contract, and the Blues are not looking to break it. Players’ agents reportedly say the squad likes Rosenior and are behind him.
The English tactician has eight Premier League games to steer the club in the right direction.
They are still in the FA Cup, and it can be a pathway to a trophy at the end of a turbulent season.
Unfortunately, the numbers paint a far less forgiving picture.
Conceding 28 goals in just 18 matches, while keeping only three clean sheets, is the kind of defensive record that erodes trust, no matter how strong relationships behind the scenes may be.
These are not the metrics of a side in control. They are warning signs of a team drifting.
Rosenior may have the backing of the dressing room and the board today, but football rarely affords long grace periods when results and performances fail to align.
Eight Premier League games now define his immediate future.
The situation is not just about scraping results. It is about sparking a run that feels convincing, sustainable and worthy of long-term belief.
Without that, sentiment will give way to scrutiny. Contracts and goodwill can only shield so much. Chelsea quickly need to build momentum, identity and resilience.
