Chelsea to Replace Liam Rosenior as Owners ‘Consider Sacking Manager’
Chelsea are in big trouble again. The owners are thinking about sacking manager Liam Rosenior after just a few months in charge. Results have gone bad fast, and the club has four clear options ready to step in. Everyone at Stamford Bridge wants stability, but the pressure is now huge.
Why the Owners Are Worried
Chelsea’s bosses, Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali from BlueCo, love long-term plans. They gave Rosenior a long contract when he arrived from Strasbourg in January 2026 to replace Enzo Maresca. At first it looked perfect. But now they have “serious concerns” about his ability to lead the team for years. They fear he cannot deliver Champions League football, which is the big target. One report says there is a real chance he will not be manager next season if things do not improve.
Bad Results and Tactical Problems
Rosenior started brilliantly. He won seven of his first nine games. The fans were excited and the team looked sharp. But everything changed recently. Chelsea lost to Paris Saint-Germain in Europe, then suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Newcastle. Defenders made simple mistakes, pressing was poor, and the team looked flat.
Now they sit sixth in the Premier League, just two points off fourth place, with only eight games left. Missing the Champions League would be a disaster. Off the pitch there have been rows with other coaches and a strange “centre-circle gate” moment before a match. All this has made the owners nervous.
The Four Ready-Made Options
Express Sport says Chelsea have already looked at four strong names if they decide to sack Rosenior. Here they are in simple terms:
Luis Enrique
The Spanish boss is highly respected. He won big trophies at Paris Saint-Germain and has never managed in the Premier League. Chelsea spoke to him back in 2023. Now could be the right time for him to test himself in England’s toughest league.
Cesc Fabregas
The former Chelsea star is doing a great job at Como in Italy. They are fighting for a Champions League spot. Fans at Stamford Bridge still love him from his playing days. He would get instant respect and knows the club inside out.
Felipe Luis
The Brazilian coach won the 2025 Copa Libertadores with Flamengo as both player and boss which is a rare double. He talked to Chelsea earlier this year about the job. Even though Flamengo sacked him recently, the Blues could bring him back quickly.
Oliver Glasner
The Austrian is at Crystal Palace but has already said he is leaving at the end of the season. Many big clubs want him. He would be the easiest to sign and brings a fresh style that is different from Chelsea’s past choices.
What Happens Next for Chelsea?
The owners say they want stability after changing managers so many times. But poor results have forced them to act fast. Liam Rosenior still has time to turn things around with eight games left. If he wins enough to grab fourth place, he might stay safe.
If not, one of the four options will arrive. The fans hope the new boss brings quick wins and calm. Chelsea are two-time European champions and should be fighting at the top, not worrying about the sack.
Future Outlook
The next few weeks will decide everything for Chelsea. Will Liam Rosenior fight back and keep his job? Or will one of Luis Enrique, Fabregas, Felipe Luis or Glasner walk into the dugout? Chelsea supporters are watching closely. The club needs a steady hand to push for the top four and bring back the glory days.
