The BlueCo period at Chelsea has been defined by instability in the dugout and the steady turnover of managers. With Liam Rosenior the latest to lose the job, the club will begin 2026\u201327 with a sixth permanent manager under BlueCo. Below are the five bosses who managed more than 10 matches in that era, assessed on results and the lasting imprint of their tenures.<\/p>\n
Frank Lampard (Games Managed: 11 | Winning Percentage: 9.1% | Trophies Won: 0)
\nFrank Lampard\u2019s second spell as caretaker in 2022\u201323 stands in stark contrast to his earlier success. He had \u201covercoming a transfer ban to lead the Blues to the Champions League in 2019\u201320,\u201d but his interim run in April produced Chelsea\u2019s worst recent form. Lampard became the first and only manager in Chelsea\u2019s history to lose the opening four games of his tenure. A 3\u20131 win against Bournemouth was the lone victory of his caretaker spell and the campaign finished with Chelsea 12th in the Premier League, their lowest top-flight finish since 1994.<\/p>\n
Liam Rosenior (Games Managed: 23 | Winning Percentage: 47.8% | Trophies Won: 0)
\nRosenior\u2019s period began promisingly, with four consecutive Premier League wins and two Champions League victories that helped Chelsea qualify among the top eight in the group stage. The form collapsed thereafter: apart from FA Cup ties against lower-league opponents, Chelsea won just one of their last 11 matches under Rosenior. The team failed to score against a top-flight opponent in each of their last six games with him in charge. After Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez scored a momentary equalizer in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals against Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea were outscored 17\u20130 by top-flight rivals until Rosenior\u2019s sacking.<\/p>\n
Graham Potter (Games Managed: 31 | Winning Percentage: 38.7% | Trophies Won: 0)
\nPotter, the first permanent BlueCo appointment, was unable to steady the side after Thomas Tuchel\u2019s departure. Chelsea won seven of the 22 Premier League matches Potter oversaw and he left with a joint-lowest points-per-game record for managers with more than 20 league matches at 1.27, tied with Glenn Hoddle. After winning just four matches after the calendar turned to 2023, Potter was dismissed in early April while the club endured its most difficult season of the 21st century. He did reach the Champions League quarterfinals during his tenure.<\/p>\n
Taken together, the five tenures reveal a period of repeated disruption and mixed short-term flashes amid extended poor runs of form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
