Obi Mikel Critiques Chelsea's Management Under Rosenior

Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has expressed strong criticism of his old club's current management under Liam Rosenior. He stated that Chelsea has taken "five steps backward" since Rosenior's appointment.

Mikel emphasized that the club's hierarchy made a significant mistake by sacking Enzo Maresca, calling the decision "absolutely crazy." He noted that Maresca had previously led the team to win the Club World Cup and the UEFA Conference League, indicating that the decision to dismiss him was unjustified. Mikel also pointed out that Chelsea's performance this season has been inconsistent, with the team failing to secure victories, which he believes reflects deeper issues within the club.

He remarked that something is not quite right with the current setup, suggesting that the management needs to reassess its strategies moving forward.
