Liam Rosenior\u2019s Chelsea reign lasted just 106 days but he could be set for a shock return to the Premier League dugout this summer.<\/p>\n
BlueCo announced the club had \u2018parted company\u2019 with the former Hull City and Strasbourg boss<\/strong> on Wednesday after losing five consecutive Premier League games without scoring a goal.<\/p>\n With Chelsea now seven points off Liverpool and Champions League qualification in fifth, and with the FA Cup semi-final with Leeds coming on Sunday, Calum McFarlane will return for a second interim stint of the season.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Liam Rosenior a fever dream but Chelsea remain in the BlueCo nightmare<\/strong><\/p>\n It was a disastrous move for Rosenior, who had impressed BlueCo through his work for sister club Strasbourg, guiding them into the Conference League.<\/p>\n He\u00a0had to deal with Enzo Fernandez and Marc Cucurella breaking ranks and questioning the club\u2019s dismissal of predecessor Enzo Maresca, and his position became \u2018untenable\u2019 after he criticised the players following their 3-0 defeat to Brighton<\/strong>their fifth loss on the bounce without scoring a goal.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been suggested that Rosenior will look to take some time out of the game after such a harrowing spell, but Football Insider<\/em> reporter Callum O\u2019Connell claims<\/strong> the 41-year-old could be handed a chance at Crystal Palace, who were \u201cvery impressed\u201d with Rosenior\u2019s Strasbourg side when they met in the Conference League.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cIt is interesting, because with the Palace links, it came after Palace played Strasbourg in the Conference League.<\/p>\n \u201cStrasbourg won that game, Palace felt they probably should have won it, but Rosenior, the way his side set up was really impressive.<\/p>\n \u201cPalace took note of that and were looking at him potentially to replace Oliver Glasner, they were very interested and liked what they saw from him there and at Hull City.<\/p>\n \u201cBut there have been suggestions that he will take time out of football after leaving Chelsea, so that could force Palace to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n \u201cIt will certainty be one to watch for Palace, if not now then probably for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n Palace are scouring the market for a new manager after Oliver Glasner turned down new contract offers to extend his deal beyond the end of this season.<\/p>\n Rosenior is joined by Getafe boss Jose Bordalas and Raya Vallecano\u2019s Inigo Perez on their shortlist, while Chelsea legend Frank Lampard has also become a target after leading Coventry City back into the Premier League.<\/p>\n Palace are also keen on Andoni Iraola, who recently announced he will be leaving Bournemouth at the end of the season, though the Eagles will face stiff competition for the Spaniard, who\u2019s also thought to be the \u2018leading candidate\u2019 to take over at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n <\/div>\nCrystal Palace\u2019s manager search<\/h2>\n
