\n\nChelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has condemned racism in football, stating that any player, coach or manager found guilty of racist behaviour should be banned from the sport. His comments were made in the context of a recent incident in the UEFA Champions League where Real Madrid’s Vinícius Júnior alleged he was racially abused during a match against Benfica, prompting UEFA to launch an investigation that could lead to disciplinary action.
While Rosenior stopped short of commenting directly on the specific allegations pending the ongoing inquiry, he stressed that racism of any form is “unacceptable” in football and society, drawing on his own experiences and calling for stronger accountability from governing bodies and the media. His stance comes amid broader reactions from across the football community, with other managers and organisations urging firmer action against discrimination in the sport.
