Liam Rosenior was in attendance for Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage on Wednesday night.
However, the new Chelsea manager, who officially replaced Enzo Maresca on Tuesday, was not alone.
Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali was also present for the team’s latest loss. They drew 1-1 with Manchester City last weekend but were unable to build on that positive result.
The Club World Cup winners have now won just once in nine Premier League fixtures, so Rosenior clearly has a lot of work to do.

Chelsea fans display ‘BlueCo out’ banner during Fulham defeat
Chelsea supporters are not happy with Eghbali and the rest of the club’s ownership, and that was clear to see at Craven Cottage.
According to BBC Sport journalist Nizaar Kinsella, Chelsea fans displayed a “BlueCo out” banner during their side’s loss to Fulham.
It comes after Maresca’s departure on New Year’s Day, with supporters clearly unhappy about how that went down and the direction that the club are heading in.
Results on the pitch are obviously the biggest problem, though, which Rosenior needs fix straight away.
Cole Palmer’s form is also an issue that the former Strasbourg manager will have to address. The attacking midfielder put in a very mixed performance at Craven Cottage.
He struggled in the first half but picked up in the second 45 minutes before being subbed off. If Marc Cucurella did not get sent off, it probably would have been a much easier game for Palmer and Chelsea’s other attackers, but his form is still a concern right now.
