Chelsea Coach Demands Lifetime Ban for Racism in Football

Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has called for a zero-tolerance policy against racism in football, insisting that any player, coach, or manager found guilty of discriminatory behavior should be permanently banned from the sport. His remarks come amid recent incidents in European football that have reignited the debate on racism in the game.

Rosenior said he could not comment on ongoing investigations but emphasized that racism has no place in football or society. Drawing from personal experience, he highlighted the emotional toll racial abuse can have on players and stressed that accountability must extend both on and off the pitch.

He also noted that comments and actions perceived as insensitive, even from coaching staff or teammates, contribute to a culture that allows racism to persist. Rosenior’s call for lifetime bans reflects a broader effort to make football a more inclusive and respectful environment for everyone involved.
