Before the appointment of the former Strasbourg, Chelsea sat fifth under Maresca, but slipped to eighth by the time the transition was complete.
The Blues, in a statement, said the team’s results and overall performances had declined significantly, falling below the club’s expected standards.
The management announced that Calum McFarlane will handle the team ahead of the FA Cup semifinal match against Leeds United.
"This has not been a decision the Club has taken lightly, however recent results and performances have fallen below the necessary standards with still so much more to play for this season. Everyone at Chelsea FC wishes Liam every success in the future.
"Calum McFarlane will take charge of the team as Interim Head Coach until the end of the season with support from existing Club backroom staff, as we strive to achieve European qualification and progress in the FA Cup."
How much will Chelsea pay Rosenior?
According to GIVEMESPORT, Liam Rosenior will receive around £24 million in compensation after his sack.
The 41-year-old signed a six-and-a-half-year contract when he took the reins at Stamford Bridge on January 6, with the deal said to be worth £ 4 million per season.
His compensation is £1 million less than what the Blues paid to Jose Mourinho and his staff when they relieved him of his duties in 2007.
The coach with the highest compensation package was Antonio Conte, who, together with his staff, received a whopping £ 26 million when he was sacked in 2018.
Only seven managers earned more than Rosenior as Chelsea have reportedly paid out £160 million in compensation in the Premier League era, per Sport Bible.
Meanwhile, Chelsea had included a break clause into Liam Rosenior's contract and will not pay out full salary for next years, fee to be lower.

"Chelsea paying millions for a four-month experiment this club burns money like it’s part of the strategy."

"Liam Rosenior shouldn't have been Chelsea Manager in the first place if all things are being equal. However, why would Chelsea offer him a six-and-half year without any pedigree apart from Managing Strasbourg. Chelsea is too fragile to be a football club to be honest."
