Rosenior, who replaced Enzo Maresca as Chelsea manager in January, enjoyed a fantastic start to life in west London as he won six of his first seven matches in charge.

However, they have faltered in recent weeks. The Blues, who were given a record-breaking fine and transfer ban this week for breaching Premier League rules, are set to crash out of the Champions League having been beaten 5-2 by reigning champions PSG in the first leg of their last 16 clash.

They have also won just once in their last five Premier League games, a run that includes disappointing draws to Burnley and Leeds United, as well as defeats against Arsenal and Newcastle.

Reports have now emerged casting doubt about his future at Chelsea, with Sky in Switzerland claiming that ‘serious concerns are emerging internally regarding the English manager’s ability to lead the sporting project in the long term.’

Newcastle beat Chelsea 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, with Gordon scoring the only goal of the game in the 18th minute. Henry was not impressed with Rosenior for turning away from the action in the build-up. He said:

“So the first mistake is don’t allow the ball inside (like Garnacho did), correct it after, but the leader on the field (points to Reece James) didn’t make it happen, right?

“But I want to show you here (points at Liam Rosenior turning away from the pitch), Liam Rosenior, I’ve been there, you are disappointed that they allowed that ball to go inside but we are not at a training ground here where you can go: ‘Ahh, let’s start again’.

“So since you talked about players do not react or they liked to be coached or the coach likes to maybe not give them that freedom, then coach it because there is a mistake.

“He’s not coaching it on the field, and unfortunately, I said to you that I’ve been there, but he’s not even looking at what is happening. Goal. Do you understand what I’m saying, it’s not easy. That’s what they need to deal with and they didn’t.”
