Gareth Southgate has pointed out that Liam Rosenior faced challenges right from the start, as his appointment at Stamford Bridge meant he had to quickly prove himself.
Liam Rosenior has faced criticism this season, even with a decent record of eight wins, two draws, and only two losses as Chelsea manager.
Enzo Maresca’s strong following hasn’t made things easier for Rosenior. It can be tough to take over from a well-liked manager, and Maresca had gained a lot of support during his time.
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has urged fans to support Rosenior, noting that starting any new managerial role is hard, especially for someone promoted from within the club who may face doubts from the get-go.
Gareth Southgate has also recognized the extra pressure on Rosenior. While he hasn’t had a smooth start, opinions on his situation vary.
