Chelsea Season {current_season}
Liam Rosenior took the reins at Stamford Bridge in January 2026, becoming the club's fifth permanent head coach since the BlueCo takeover in 2022. The 41-year-old arrived from sister club Strasbourg, whom he had led into European competition for the first time in 19 years. Rosenior inherited a squad featuring Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto, and Alejandro Garnacho and faces the challenge of delivering consistency at a club that has struggled with managerial stability. Chelsea sit sixth in the table and remain in the race for European qualification.
