Chelsea news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
Eghbali, in charge of the club alongside\u00a0Todd Boehly, has entered the dressing room at every game he has attended this season \u2013 including after the 1-0 home defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday \u2013 which is frowned upon by many supporters.<\/p>\n
Following the loss to Villa, Eghbali was confronted by a section of Blues fans and the co-owner was seen running away and jumping into the back of a black car.<\/p>\n
Eghbali and Boehly are under significant pressure given Chelsea\u2019s huge downward trajectory since they took over from Roman Abramovich last year.<\/p>\n
The club are struggling both on and off the pitch despite the west Londoners spending over \u00a31 billion on transfers under their American owners.<\/p>\n
Boehly was particularly criticised for addressing the squad after last season\u2019s defeat to Brighton, where he labelled the team \u2019embarrassing\u2019.<\/p>\n
But according to The Telegraph, the reason why Eghbali keeps visiting the players\u2019 dressing room is not to deliver any speeches.<\/p>\n
Instead, they report that Eghbali makes the trip to \u2018shake hands\u2019 with players and coaching staff and to \u2018wish individuals well\u2019 after games.<\/p>\n
They also claim that Eghbali regularly enters the office of Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino.<\/p>\n
Pochettino, speaking after the defeat to Villa, urged Chelsea\u2019s hierarchy to \u2018give him time\u2019 despite the Blues\u2019 slow start under the Argentine, with the club having won just one of their opening six Premier League games.<\/p>\n
