Chelsea's recent slump has intensified scrutiny on manager Liam Rosenior, but club officials have signaled strong backing for the 41-year-old despite a 3-0 defeat to Everton that marked the team's fourth consecutive loss across all competitions.

Rosenior took charge in January on a contract until 2032, succeeding Enzo Maresca after the Italian's abrupt departure amid reported disagreements with the hierarchy.
