Sources have told BBC Sport that Bournemouth<\/a> manager Andoni Iraola, Fulham<\/a> head coach Marco Silva and former Dortmund boss Edin Terzic are under consideration as possible replacements for Rosenior.<\/p>\n

Iraola, 43, announced last week that he will leave Bournemouth<\/a> at the end of the season, while Silva’s contract at rivals Fulham<\/a> is due to expire in July. Terzic, meanwhile, was under consideration by Tottenham<\/a> to replace Thomas Frank when the Dane was sacked earlier this season.<\/p>\n

Calum McFarlane will take over as interim manager until the end of the season.<\/p>\n

McFarlane, who was Rosenior’s assistant, was in charge for a 1-1 draw against Manchester City<\/a> and a defeat at Fulham<\/a> in January after previous boss Enzo Maresca was sacked.<\/p>\n

“As the club works to bring stability to the head coach position, we will undertake a process of self-reflection to make the right long-term appointment,” Chelsea<\/a> added.<\/p>\n

Rosenior won five of his 13 games in the Premier League and led the Blues to four victories in the FA Cup – all against lower-league opposition – to reach the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

McFarlane’s first game in charge comes on Sunday when Chelsea<\/a> face Leeds<\/a> at Wembley for a place in the FA Cup final (15:00 BST).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sources have told BBC Sport that Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola, Fulham head coach Marco Silva and former Dortmund…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":412116,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-412115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412115","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=412115"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412115\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/412116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=412115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=412115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=412115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
