Di Matteo was parachuted into the Blues' hot seat as the eighth manager under Roman Abramovich after Andre Villas-Boas was shoved out of it last Sunday.
And, as the former Blues midfielder issued a rallying cry to target a top four finish - starting with Saturday's home match against Stoke - the Italian conceded he was not one of football?s glad-handers.
Asked if he might find the transition hard from being a friend of the players to their boss, Di Matteo said: ?I think ?friends? is a big word. I?m not sure how many friends you have. I don?t have any, actually.
Roberto Di Matteo appeared to predict how his short-term Chelsea reign will end when he admitted: I haven?t got any friends.
