Rosenior was named Chelsea boss on Tuesday and was in the stand alongside the club’s co-owner Behdad Eghbali at Craven Cottage to watch his new side’s 2-1 defeat by Fulham on Wednesday, with Calum McFarlane taking charge of the team.
Jones, who worked as a coach at Brighton & Hove Albion while Rosenior was at the south coast club as a player, described the new Chelsea boss as confident, eloquent and a thoughtful leader.
“I saw him last night, Liam, actually, we had a quick brief chat and I have no idea what impact he’s going to have mentally or physically on them,” said Jones.
“Tactically and technically they’ll be similar because that’s one of the main reasons why I think he’s been brought in, there’s an alignment with what they’ve done and it’s a good thing.
“But can they run any harder? I don’t know. Can we run any harder? Well, we’ll see.”
