Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior says he is accountable for Robert Sanchez's mistakes in the 3-2 Carabao Cup semi-final first leg loss to Arsenal, defending his keeper while stressing he's implementing a new system; he noted illness and injuries across the squad and praised Sanchez's late save, with Garnacho scoring twice to keep Chelsea alive ahead of the return leg at the Emirates.
Chelsea, under new manager Liam Rosenior, answered his demand for fight and intensity with an eight-change lineup that beat Charlton 5-1 in the FA Cup. Jorrel Hato opened the scoring, with Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu, Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernández adding goals as the Blues impressed in the second half. Hato said Rosenior emphasized energy and willingness to invert roles, echoing ideas he previously heard under Maresca.
Liam Rosenior, in his first match as Chelsea's head coach, opted for a conservative approach, emphasizing team spirit and basic principles over tactical overhaul, leading to a 5-1 FA Cup victory. He highlighted the team's quality, focus on intensity, and basic set-piece improvements, while acknowledging ongoing fan protests and the need for further development against tougher opponents.
Chelsea appointed 41-year-old Liam Rosenior as their new head coach, citing his innovative approach, experience managing Strasbourg, and familiarity with the club's structure, despite his limited Premier League experience and recent poor form at Strasbourg. Rosenior is also notable as Chelsea's first black British head coach, representing a historic milestone for the club.
Liam Rosenior is the leading candidate to succeed Enzo Maresca as Chelsea's manager following Maresca's departure amid internal tensions, with other potential candidates including Roberto de Zerbi, Kieran McKenna, and Francesco Farioli. Rosenior, currently managing Strasbourg, has strong backing from Chelsea's ownership and a track record of developing players and achieving success in Ligue 1.
