Chelsea are known for changing managers pretty frequently, having already gone through Graham Potter, Mauricio Pochettino, and Enzo Maresca as permanent appointments under this ownership.

Rosenior hasn’t had the most convincing start since replacing Maresca back in January, and Romano admits the 41-year-old has to deliver at Stamford Bridge, just like any manager.

But it seems he’s not in immediate danger, with Romano acknowledging that it’s harder to take a big job like Chelsea without the benefits of a full pre-season to prepare.

Fabrizio Romano on Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea future

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano responded to uncertainty around Rosenior after Chelsea’s humiliating Champions League exit at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.

He said: “Obviously it was disappointing to see Chelsea going out of the Champions League like that. Paris Saint-Germain scored eight goals on aggregate against Chelsea in the Champions League. (It) was especially the Stanford Bridge one poor performance and so obviously many people (are) asking and trying to understand the situation around Liam Rosenior

“But at the moment despite all the questions I’m getting the answer I have is that Chelsea keep believing in their manager. Obviously we all know this is a results-based industry. So let’s see how it’s going to continue in the next months, but at the moment Chelsea show total commitment to the project they started with Rosenior.

“He arrived in January and it’s not the same when you arrive during the summer preseason start to do the market with the ideas of the coach as well.”

He added: “So the idea is to support Rosenior, is to trust Rosenior. Then again, he has to deliver as every single coach in the world. That’s the point.”

Is Liam Rosenior the right manager for Chelsea?

Rosenior impressed at Strasbourg, so his appointment made a lot of sense for CFC due to the two clubs both being part of BlueCo.

At the same time, however, coming from Ligue 1 to one of the top Premier League clubs is a very different level of challenge.

Rosenior has shown promise, but this big job perhaps came a bit soon for him as he remains relatively inexperienced.

Chelsea will no doubt hope he can continue to develop and learn, just as many of the young players in this squad are doing.

But we’ll have to see how patient the club’s fans are with that kind of approach if it doesn’t deliver success soon.
