Chelsea have no plans to dismiss manager Liam Rosenior despite the club's embarrassing exit from the UEFA Champions League. The Blues suffered an 8-2 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16, their heaviest defeat in a Champions League tie. Chelsea are out of the Champions League, League Cup, and risk missing out on a top-five Premier League slot after a downturn in form over the past few weeks.
Why it matters
Chelsea's heavy defeat in the Champions League has raised questions about Rosenior's future, but the club hierarchy is standing by the manager. This decision comes despite Chelsea's poor defensive record this season and the team's struggles to find consistent form.
The details
According to the Daily Mail, Rosenior still has a great relationship with the Chelsea hierarchy and is not in danger of losing his job. He signed a six-and-a-half-year contract, and the Blues are not looking to break it. Agents of players reportedly say the squad likes Rosenior and is behind him. The English tactician has eight Premier League games to steer the club in the right direction, as they are still in the FA Cup.

The takeaway
Chelsea's decision to stand by Rosenior despite the team's poor results and Champions League exit highlights the club's commitment to stability and faith in the manager. However, Rosenior will need to quickly turn things around in the Premier League to justify the club's continued support.
