Chelsea have been urged to sack head coach Liam Rosenior and make an ambitious move for Como boss Cesc Fabregas following a damaging run of results, according to fresh reports.
The pressure intensified after a heavy 3-0 Premier League defeat to Everton, a result that left CHELSEA outside the top four and in danger of missing out on next season’s Champions League. That loss followed a humbling European exit to Paris Saint-Germain and a sequence of inconsistent domestic performances that have raised serious questions about Rosenior’s tenure.
Speaking on talkSPORT, pundit Rory Jennings delivered a scathing assessment, branding the current situation “a disgrace” and insisting the club should act immediately. He called for Chelsea to “get on the phone” to former midfielder Fabregas, citing his understanding of the club and connection with supporters as key factors
Jennings told TalkSport: “Genuinely if the club’s standards are anything close to what they should be, I do know what the answer is.
“The answer is sack Rosenior now… just get him out of the club now, get on the phone immediately to Cesc Fabregas.
“Somebody who understands CHELSEA, somebody who won the league with us, somebody who knows what the standards should be, somebody who has an affinity with the fans, somebody who was an elite player themselves.
“What we need is somebody like that, the club will never do that because Fabregas has too much pride, he would never exist and work within these parameters. But if we were a club that were serious, that’s what we would do.”
Is Fabregas ready for Chelsea?
Fabregas’ growing reputation makes him an intriguing candidate, but a move to Chelsea this summer would represent a significant leap.
On the positive side, he offers a clear footballing identity and deep understanding of elite-level dressing rooms, having played for some of Europe’s biggest clubs. His time at Chelsea as a player could also help him command instant respect and reconnect the club with its supporters.
However, the gap between managing Como and taking charge at Stamford Bridge is vast. Chelsea is an environment defined by immediate expectations, intense media scrutiny, and little margin for error. Fabregas has yet to prove himself under that level of pressure or demonstrate he can consistently deliver results at the highest level.
There is also a question of timing. Another step—perhaps at a mid-level European club or with more top-flight experience—could better prepare him for such a role.
CHELSEA must decide whether to prioritise long-term vision or short-term stability. Fabregas may well become a top manager, but appointing him now would be a bold and potentially risky gamble.
