London: Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior believes his spell at Stamford Bridge can end the club’s turbulent period if he is given time to make his mark.
Rosenior became Chelsea’s fifth permanent manager under current owners BlueCo when he arrived from Strasbourg to replace Enzo Maresca in January.
Including caretakers, the 41-year-old is the ninth boss to have held the job in the six years that Mikel Arteta has managed Premier League leaders Arsenal, who host the Blues on Sunday.
There has also been a significant turnover of players and personnel during that time.
Of the Chelsea squad that won the Champions League in 2021, only Reece James remained by September of last year.
Thomas Tuchel, who managed Chelsea to that Champions League final success against Manchester City, was dismissed four months after the new owners took control.
Graham Potter and Mauricio Pochettino also had short-lived reigns at Chelsea before Maresca’s 18 months in the job ended abruptly on New Year’s Day following a falling out with the hierarchy.
