Liam Rosenior lasted just 106 days as Chelsea head coach, but it was obvious on Day 2 that the 41-year-old was ill-equipped for the job he had been hired to do.
In truth, it was also clear on Day 1 considering his lack of top-level coaching experience and the naïve belief of BlueCo, Chelsea's owner, that Rosenior could make the transition from coaching partner club Strasbourg to leading a dressing room of big-name players at Stamford Bridge following Enzo Maresca's dismissal.
More than 24 hours after watching training on his first day in charge, though, Rosenior chose not to be involved with team selection or play any part on the bench as his new side suffered a 2-1 defeat away to local rivals Fulham in his second day in the job, opting instead to take a more detached approach, sitting alongside Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali in the stand at Craven Cottage.
It was the first of many mistakes by Rosenior. Others would be more obvious and embarrassing: the bizarre claim that his players were "respecting the ball" while surrounding referee Paul Tierney in a prematch huddle, his odd boast that he was "managing the school team when I was 11" and the decision to hand Alejandro Garnacho a tactical note in the 85th minute of an 8-2 aggregate defeat against Paris Saint-Germain.
