Chelsea fans demand Rosenior's exit as potential successors named

Chelsea lost 3-0 to Brighton on Tuesday night, marking five straight league defeats without scoring, a first since 1912. Fans chanted an expletive demanding Rosenior's removal; the club sits seventh in Premier League, seven points behind Liverpool, hurting Champions League hopes.

Chelsea's large Nigerian fanbase watches closely as managerial instability influences match results, betting markets, and supporter morale. Despite the Premier League slump, Chelsea faces Leeds United in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Sunday, April 26, 2026, offering a realistic route to silverware this season. Betfair lists Rosenior as favorite to remain manager, with Filipe Luis at 5/2, Cesc Fabregas at 4/1, Oliver Glasner at 9/2, and other contenders such as Xavi Hernandez, Roberto De Zerbi, Marco Silva, Unai Emery, Frank Lampard, Fabian Hurzeler, Luis Enrique, Xabi Alonso, and Julian Nagelsmann.

Rosenior took over in January after Enzo Maresca; management previously said no intent to sack him, but continued losses increase fan pressure. The FA Cup semi offers a potential turnaround. Which of these candidate managers would you trust to restore Chelsea's competitiveness, and how would that affect your support for the club?
