Chelsea face £24m compensation payout if they sack manager Liam Rosenior
Chelsea could be forced to pay manager Liam Rosenior up to £24m in compensation if they dismiss him before the end of the current season.
Lucrative long-term deal
The 41-year-old head coach still has six years remaining on a contract signed at Stamford Bridge in January.
According to recent reports, the extensive agreement is worth an estimated £4m per season.
Consequently, the West London club would be liable for the full remaining balance if they decide to part ways with the English tactician.
Historic payout precedents
It remains possible that the current contract contains specific break clauses to significantly reduce any final severance package.
However, the Blues have a well-documented history of dispensing with managers at a premium financial cost.
The Stamford Bridge hierarchy has paid out a staggering £161.6m in managerial compensation during the Premier League era.
Previous high-profile departures include substantial multi-million-pound settlements for title-winning managers Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho.
