Ranked: The biggest managerial payouts in football history

Rosenior left his role on Wednesday

The Englishman's run as manager reached a historic low point on Tuesday night, as the Blues lost 3-0 at away to Brighton, in the club's fifth successive Premier League defeat.

Across those five losses, Chelsea also failed to score a single goal, making the worst league run by a Chelsea side since 1912.

While disappointing for Rosenior, who will have seen the Chelsea job as a massive opportunity, the sacking does come tinged with a semblance of some good news, in that Rosenior is set to recieive a massive payout sum from his former employers.

When appointed from Strasbourg in January, the 41-year-old signed a bumper 5.5 year contract.

Considering he lasted less than six months into that deal, Rosenior's payout in expected to be significant.
