six and a half year contract he signed in January.<\/p>\n<p>Rosenior is now the second head coach to depart Chelsea this season following the January exit of Enzo Maresca.<\/p>\n<h2>Cesc Fabregas free to join Chelsea if wishes<\/h2>\n<p>Calum McFarlane has been placed in interim charge for the remainder of the season, whilst the Blues conduct yet another search for a new head coach.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s understood to be seven or eight names in the frame currently, with Andoni Iraola believed to be one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea will reportedly take their time over the next

fifth in Serie A and on course to qualify for some form of European football next season.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you enjoy Chelsea News coverage and want to see more of it, add us as a<span>
