Chelsea<\/a> head coach Liam Rosenior says he feels “100%” support from the club’s ownership despite a run of four league defeats without a goal.<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old replaced Enzo Maresca, who left on New Year’s Day, but Saturday’s home defeat by Manchester United<\/a> has left Chelsea<\/a> seven points behind fifth-placed Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That leaves the Blues’ chances of Champions League qualification – the club’s minimum target at the start of the season – in major doubt.<\/p>\n

Asked whether he feels he has support from within the club, Rosenior replied: “100%. They’ve been supportive of me in our daily conversations, the sporting directors involved \u2013 they’ve been magnificent in their support of me and the team.<\/p>\n

“We’re relying on them. We know we need to win games of football in the now.”<\/p>\n

Last week, influential co-owner Behdad Eghbali said the hierarchy remain behind Rosenior, adding: “Of course, it’s a results business, but we think he can be successful long term.”<\/p>\n

Eghbali also said Chelsea<\/a> would target more experienced players in the summer and would “tweak the plan if it’s not working”, having built the youngest squad in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

On the owner’s comments, Rosenior added: “He wants consistent trophies and consistent success for this club. That’s what we’ve spoken about \u2013 in the now, in the summer and how we build. <\/p>\n

“We’re all very clear on what we need to do, what we want to do and what we have to do to get this club back to where it should be.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior says he feels “100%” support from the club’s ownership despite a run of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":408458,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":{"0":"post-408457","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=408457"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408457\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/408458"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=408457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=408457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=408457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
