Chelsea Board Discussing Rossinier's Future, Sacking Appears Increasingly Likely
Chelsea's management is currently deliberating the future of manager Liam Rossinier, according to Sky Sports. The team suffered its fifth consecutive league defeat without scoring a goal yesterday, marking the Blues' worst run in 114 years. The source indicates that the 41-year-old Englishman's position at Stamford Bridge is precarious, with no guarantees he will lead the team in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Leeds.
BBC also reports that Rossinier's fate is increasingly uncertain. Chelsea players have a day off today, while the club's hierarchy has convened at the training ground.
Fabrizio Romano adds that high-level discussions have been ongoing since this morning, with a final decision expected today.
Following yesterday's defeat, Rossinier was booed by fans at Stamford Bridge, and he publicly criticized his players.
The Englishman is under contract with Chelsea until 2032, and according to Football.London, the club would owe him £24 million if they decide to terminate his contract.
