    The interim manager of Chelsea is wrapping his head around having to take charge of the Premier League side for at least the next match

    The interim manager of Chelsea is wrapping his head around having to take charge of the Premier League side for at least the next match


    Under-21s manager Calum McFarlane has been seconded to the top gig, after Enzo Maresca and his staff parted ways with the club yesterday.

    His first - and possibly only - assignment is against Manchester City in the Premier League on Monday morning.



    McFarlane only moved to the Chelsea under-21s from Southampton's academy in July.

    Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior is the favourite to take over the top job.
