🚨 Chelsea had included a break clause into Liam Rosenior contract and will not pay out full salary for next years, fee to be lower.

Some players lost faith in the manager; change was seen as inevitable, results always come first despite support.

🚨 More on Liam Rosenior's sacking. Chelsea felt it was their only course of action to try and qualify for Europe and win the FA Cup. Sources say several senior players had lost faith in the Chelsea head coach.

A thorough process to find a replacement is expected with Chelsea aware several qualified coaches are available this summer.

The focus is now on stability and giving the players the best possible environment to finish the season strongly.

Players and staff were informed before the announcement was made.

Decision was taken by the club's leadership team. Sources say there is acknowledgement some wrong decisions have been made, not just in appointing Rosenior, but across the season, with learnings now being taken ahead of hiring a new head coach.🔵

🚨 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧: Liam Rosenior's record with Chelsea:

❌ 10 losses
⚔️ 2 draws

• 47 goals scored
• 38 goals conceded

🚨 Chelsea Women confirm the team will move all their WSL fixtures to Stamford Bridge for the 2026/27 season.

It follows consultation with the Chelsea Women players, the Chelsea Fan Advisory Board (FAB) and other #CFCW fan groups.

The stadium move is announced alongside the launch of the club’s new brand identity: 'Never Done' – a movement that reflects CFCW's ambition on and off the field.

Different games could have different capacities but the hope is to sell as many tickets as possible and not cap capacity. Ticket pricing will be released in the coming weeks.

Understand double-header game days with the men's team are also entirely not ruled out.

Chelsea Women will continue to own Kingsmeadow, and it will be used for Academy games.

Expectation is #UWCL games, should Chelsea qualify, will be staged at Stamford Bridge. Plans for domestic cup fixtures are still to be determined.

🗣️ Aki Mandhar, CEO for Chelsea Women:

"Our commitment to play all Barclays Women’s Super League matches at Stamford Bridge from next season reaffirms our ambition and intent to make CFCW the leading women’s sports club in the world. Playing the team’s BWSL matches at such an iconic ground ensures our players and supporters have the arena they deserve as we look to propel the game into its next phase of growth." 

🗣️ Sonia Bompastor:

"The squad, and every player to have pulled on a Chelsea shirt before them, has worked so hard for this as has every member of staff to stand on the sidelines. We can’t wait to welcome you in September, and to provide a stadium that helps us as we write the next chapter for this amazing club."

Looking ahead to an FA Cup semi-final. 🏆

Ruthless from this Chelsea fan 🤣🤣

@Manchester_City are considering Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez as a midfield option this summer.

It’s understood City’s interest in the Argentina international is at an early stage and there are other midfield targets they are looking at, including Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson.

@Real_Madrid are also among Fernandez’s admirers, but at this stage it is unclear whether they would make a move for him.

Fernandez’s comments about Madrid during March’s international break resulted in him being dropped for two games by Liam Rosenior.
