Liam Rosenior has received a multi-million pound pay-off after being sacked just three months into his six-and-a-half year contract at Chelsea.
The Blues took the decision to relieve the Englishman of his duties following five straight Premier League defeats.
It culminated in a shocking performance against Brighton on the south coast, losing 3-0 in a Tuesday night display Jason Cundy called, ‘gutless and spineless.’
And on Wednesday afternoon, in a club statement, it was confirmed that Rosenior had been sacked by Chelsea.
The west London club said: “Chelsea Football Club has today parted company with Head Coach Liam Rosenior.
“On behalf of everyone at Chelsea FC, we would like to place on record our gratitude to Liam and his staff for all their efforts during their time with the club.
“Liam has always conducted himself with the highest integrity and professionalism following his appointment mid-way through the season.
“This has not been a decision the club has taken lightly, however recent results and performances have fallen below the necessary standards with still so much more to play for this season. Everyone at Chelsea FC wishes Liam every success in the future.
“Calum McFarlane will take charge of the team as interim head coach until the end of the season with support from existing club backroom staff, as we strive to achieve European qualification and progress in the FA Cup.
“As the club works to bring stability to the head coach position, we will undertake a process of self-reflection to make the right long-term appointment.”
There were reports that Rosenior would be entitled to the full £24million of his contract, but talkSPORT understands that isn’t the case.
Here, we look into the pay-off and his record.
How much has Rosenior cost Chelsea?
As part of his whopping contract at Stamford Bridge, there was a break clause included.
That means the Blues are set to pay him one year’s worth of his salary, which comes to £4million for just over three months of work.
Chelsea also paid compensation to sign Rosenior from their sister club Strasbourg.
Both sides are owned by BlueCo, and though a fee hasn’t been revealed sources told The Times that the club paid the ‘market rate’ for Rosenior to leave France and head to west London.
Rosenior’s record
The former Hull City manager was appointed on January 8 by Chelsea to replace Enzo Maresca, following the Italian’s departure from the club.
Rosenior was in charge for just shy of four months, overseeing 23 matches.
Incredibly, despite how badly it has ended, things actually started pretty well.
The Blues won six of their first seven matches in all competitions, including comeback victories over Napoli and West Ham.
The only defeat in that period was a narrow 3-2 loss to Arsenal in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.
A second defeat to Arsenal in the return leg sandwiched a 3-1 win over Wolves, and things looked relatively good.

A 2-2 draw against Leeds, with the Blues throwing away a lead indicated a poor result, but it was followed by a 4-0 win in the FA Cup over Rosenior’s former side Hull.
A disappointing 1-1 draw with Burnley came before a defeat to Arsenal again, this time in the Premier League.
Rosenior’s side then answered some questions with a brilliant 4-1 win over Aston Villa at the start of March.
That turned out to be the last goal they scored in the top-flight under Rosenior because since then, it’s gone horribly wrong.
The Blues have just one win since then – a 7-0 victory in the FA Cup quarter-finals against Port Vale.
They’ve lost every other game, and now, it’s over.
