Chelsea FC head coach Liam Rosenior has called the club’s recent run across all competitions a disappointing period.
He spoke to Sky Sports after the Blues were beaten 3-0 by Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium in the English Premier League. Before that, Chelsea had suffered an 8-2 aggregate defeat to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the UEFA Champions League.
Reflecting on the results, Rosenior welcomed the international break, saying it comes at a needed time given the team’s struggles, and admitted that the challenges of his role are difficult to bear.
“It’s a disappointing time for the club at the moment in terms of the way we lost in the Champions League and the way we’ve lost the last two games.”

“My job – it hurts, regardless of your position, it hurts to lose games of football – in terms of moving forward and having this time is to look at the bigger picture” Liam Rosenior said.
