Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior said on Monday he continues to have the full support of the club’s owners as he accepted responsibility for a damaging run of four consecutive Premier League defeats.
A 1-0 home defeat to Manchester United on Saturday leaves Chelsea in sixth place in the standings with 48 points and five games to go. With several teams closing in on them, their hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League have been seriously damaged.
Chelsea’s problems have been exacerbated by their struggles in front of goal. They have failed to score in their last four league defeats, matching their longest drought since 1912.
They then travel to ninth-placed Brighton and Hove Albion on Tuesday.
When asked if he feels the owners still believe in him, Rosenior was emphatic.
“100%,” he told reporters. “They have supported me and our daily conversations have been supportive.
“We know we want to win football games now, but that doesn’t go against the fact that we want success and consistent success in the long term.”

Rosenior was confirmed as Chelsea’s new head coach in January with a contract running until 2032, following the departure of Italian Enzo Maresca on New Year’s Day.
The 41-year-old Englishman is the fourth permanent manager of the West London club since the takeover of Todd Boehly in 2022.
“We have to win,” Rosenior said. «That’s what this club demands, and rightly so, and that’s what the fans expect. It’s about winning football, that’s what football is about.»
«You can’t talk about the long term if you don’t do the work in the short term. To be honest, we haven’t done well in the last few games, and that rests on my shoulders as head coach of the team.»
On the injury front, Estevao will miss the trip to Brighton, while fellow striker Joao Pedro will be late.
«Joao was on the field today. We will make a decision about him tomorrow morning,» Rosenior added. «Estevao is definitely out for tomorrow and we are doing extra tests on him.»
