Hupu released news on April 30. Former England midfielder Paul Scholes said that Chelsea's bosses feel that Liam Rossinier is the right person to lead the club forward. This is simply crazy and "crazy".
Rossinier was sacked last week after just three and a half months in the job as his team suffered five consecutive defeats in the Premier League and has yet to score a goal. The former Hull City coach was signed by Chelsea owner BlueCo from sister club Strasbourg in January this year, and the two parties signed a six-and-a-half-year contract.
The club issued a statement when announcing Rossinier's sacking, which said it would conduct "self-reflection to make the right long-term appointment." In addition, it is understood that the club has internally admitted that appointing such an inexperienced coach was a mistake and is currently selecting a next head coach who can take the team in a different direction.
Scholes, who was once a member of Manchester United's meritorious team led by Sir Alex Ferguson, felt that Rossinier was not suitable to take charge of Chelsea.
While participating in the program "The Overlap Fan Debate", Scholes said this: "I don't understand what the Chelsea owners are trying to do. Is this a way to cultivate young players? I don't know."
There is no doubt that bosses need to shoulder many responsibilities. Apart from the owners, almost no one inside or outside football circles would think Rossinier is the right fit for Chelsea. To me, this is absolutely crazy!
If the decision was made, what would Liam do? He would not turn down the opportunity to coach Chelsea. However, once bosses make a decision, they have to consider that there will always be times when things go wrong.
At this point, losing five Premier League games and not scoring a single goal was a huge problem. You just couldn't get over it, and he didn't get over it.
At this stage, McFarlane has taken over the position of Chelsea's interim head coach and led Chelsea to a victory over Leeds United on Sunday, thus successfully qualifying for the FA Cup final.
It is claimed that Xabi Alonso is one of the candidates, as is Iola, and Marco Silva is also a candidate to become Chelsea's next permanent manager.
