Liam Rosenior could hardly have asked for a better opening night as Chelsea head coach after guiding the Blues to a convincing 5-1 win over Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup third round. Speaking after the match, which sealed Chelsea's place in the fourth round as reported by SoftFootball , Rosenior explained that his satisfaction came not just from the scoreline but from the direction of travel.
He made it clear that his early focus is stability and belief, saying he was pleased with how the players embraced what he described as a fresh chapter at the club. The performance followed his first full week in charge and set a positive tone ahead of a demanding run of fixtures.
Rosenior was also keen to remind observers that he has inherited a squad with recent pedigree rather than a broken group. His comments, as shared by Fabrizio Romano on his official X account , were aimed at reinforcing confidence inside and outside the dressing room.
