Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has been sacked after a fifth straight Premier League loss on Tuesday night.
The club was holding senior leadership team discussions about his future earlier today.
A 3-0 loss at Brighton further dented the Blues' hopes of qualifying for the Champions League, with Rosenior admitting the performance was "indefensible".
The Blues are set to play Leeds in an FA Cup semi-final on Sunday.
Rosenior said on Tuesday he must identify which players he can trust after the poor result at the Amex Stadium.
It was Chelsea's fifth straight league loss without scoring for the first time since 1912.
"I understand their frustration," Rosenior said of the fans.
"The buck stops with me. I have thick skin and I understand why the fans are frustrated."
