New Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior believes the club can still be successful, even after a rough mid-season change suddenly.
Liam Rosenior Takes Charge As Chelsea Reset After Maresca Exit
Chelsea turn a new page in their management this weekend. New boss Liam Rosenior steps into the dugout ahead of the FA Cup tie with Charlton Athletic. The timing is sudden, but Rosenior looks calm about taking control midway through the season.
The club moved on from Enzo Maresca after tensions behind the scenes grew too loud to ignore. Results also told a difficult story. The Blues slipped to eighth in the Premier League with only one win from their last nine matches.
That dip has erased the shine of two trophies Maresca delivered in his first season. For Rosenior, the task is huge and clear. He must steady the mood and lift the belief. He needs to bring focus back to performances. This comes starting with a cup test that now carries extra meaning.

New Boss Backs Long-Term Success Amid League Struggles
Speaking with confidence, Rosenior said: “No excuses about starting my job mid season. I’m here to win.
“This project is about winning. It’s not about anything but trying to deliver trophies.
“Whether it’s me at the club in three, four, five years, this club will be successful for a long time.”
The new heads coach also stressed patience from fans during this phase. He knows league form must improve fast. But, he sees progress coming through clear roles and trust. He views this period as a chance, not a setback. If Chelsea respond well in the game on Sunday, it could mark the first step of a big rebuild.
Author’s Opinion:
Rosenior feels like a good man at the job. If the players give in, Chelsea can turn noise into direction. Fans will keep an eye on how fast this group works new ideas under pressure.
