That was quick! After not even four months in office, FC Chelsea have pulled the plug and parted ways with head coach Liam Rosenior. The club officially announced this on Wednesday evening.

The reason is the team's current poor run of form. The Blues lost all of their last five Premier League matches and failed to score a single goal during that stretch. The London side have not been this bad since 1912!

With Chelsea having slipped to seventh place and even facing the risk of missing out on qualification for a European competition, Rosenior has now had to go.

The 41-year-old had only moved to Stamford Bridge in January from sister club RC Strasbourg.

This could now mean that the Blues may have to pay their former coach a hefty severance package of almost €28 million, as the English Daily Mirror speculates. Rosenior is said to earn €4.6 million per season. With a contract running until 2032(!), Chelsea would therefore have to dig deep into their pockets—unless they planned ahead and included termination clauses in the deal.
