Liam Rosenior was sacked as Chelsea manager after less than four months in charge on Wednesday following a run of five successive Premier League defeats.
Beaten seven times in their last eight games in all competitions, Chelsea have failed to even score while losing five consecutive league games for the first time since 1912.
