Liam Rosenior, who took over as Chelsea's manager in January 2026, is experiencing mounting pressure after a string of poor results, leaving the team in sixth place, outside of Champions League qualification. According to a report by The Athletic, Rosenior has not yet established the same level of respect and authority in the dressing room as his predecessors, Mauricio Pochettino and Enzo Maresca. Despite a recent 7-0 victory against Port Vale in the FA Cup, concerns persist regarding the players' buy-in to his tactics. The club is reportedly backing Rosenior, with plans to evaluate his performance in summer 2027. However, the upcoming match against Manchester City is seen as crucial for his tenure, as the team seeks its first win against City since the 2021 Champions League final.
