Chelsea F.C. have reportedly made a final decision on the future of Liam Rosenior following their brutal Champions League exit

Liam Rosenior still has the full backing of the Chelsea hierarchy with no plans to sack the head coach after a damaging week for the Blues.

Chelsea crashed out of the Champions League in woeful fashion on Tuesday night, losing 3-0 to Paris Saint-Germain at Stamford Bridge after shipping five away in the French capital last week.

The 8-2 aggregate defeat equalled their worst ever result in Europe across two legs, matching the 7-1 battering handed out by Bayern Munich six years ago.

In between those two games was a home defeat to Newcastle United in the Premier League, a result which leaves them outside the Champions League places and six points behind third place Manchester United.

Rosenior has enjoyed an impressive start to life in west London after replacing Enzo Maresca in January, losing just three of his opening 15 games – all coming against Arsenal in the Premier League and Carabao Cup.

But his methods have come under increasing scrutiny with former England boss Fabio Capello labelling him ‘out of his mind’ after an incident on Tuesday where he handed notes to Alejandro Garnacho with just minutes left on the clock.
