Rosenior was sacked following the 3-0 defeat to Brighton in midweek, a result which extended Chelsea\u2019s recent record to five straight Premier League losses.<\/p>\n<p>Callum McFarlane has been placed in interim charge until the summer, when a permanent replacement will be appointed.<\/p>\n<p>Silva\u2019s impressive work as Fulham has attracted interest from rival clubs and the Portuguese coach is out of contract at the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>However, asked about his Fulham future and links to Chelsea, Silva said there was \u2018no news\u2019 to tell.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy is it different this week this week? It is not different at all,\u201d Silva said at his press conference ahead of tomorrow\u2019s clash with Aston Villa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy answer is the same and it\u2019s the same answer that I said to you last week. I am not going to make comments about it every single week.
