Liam Rosenior chose not to take charge of Chelsea for the first time in Wednesday's Premier League clash against Fulham because of the "difficult time-frame" between his appointment on Tuesday and the game at Craven Cottage.
Rosenior, 41, signed a six-year contract as Chelsea head coach on Tuesday after leaving the club's Ligue 1 partner club Strasbourg to replace Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge.
But despite making the one-mile trip across west London from Chelsea to Fulham on the team bus with the Blues' playing squad, Rosenior said that he didn't have time to prepare the players properly enough for him to take charge of the team.
