Chelsea: Liam Rosenior ‘not bothered at all’ by memes comparing him to TV characters


Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior says he is not “bothered at all” by memes comparing him to television characters.

The 43-year-old has won seven of his first nine games in charge of the Blues but fans online have poked fun at his mannerisms.

Rosenior says he is not on social media so his teenage children have informed him of the comparisons to popular TV characters that are being made, which include Inbetweeners character Will McKenzie and David Brent from the Office.

“I’m not afraid to be myself,” said Rosenior.

“If I wear glasses, if I sound a little bit over the top when I speak, or articulate myself in a certain way, or I don’t look like a manager, it doesn’t bother me at all.”

Former Strasbourg boss Rosenior says the memes affect his family but he is not troubled by them because he expected the reaction from the moment he took the Chelsea job.

Rosenior was a surprise appointment for the role after Enzo Maresca’s departure in January following a breakdown in his relationship with the owners.

“The reason I know is because I’ve got teenage children,” added Rosenior

“They’re on social media. It affects them, it affects my parents and my family. But I knew walking in to this job it was going to happen. It’s normal.

“When you’re prepared for it, it makes you smile. I’m a confident person. If you’re affected by things like that, you shouldn’t be in this job.”

Since joining Chelsea, Rosenior has become just the second English manager to win his first four Premier League matches.

Last month he also guided Chelsea to the last 16 of the Champions League following a 3-2 win at Napoli.

The Blues sit fifth in the Premier League – one point behind fourth-placed Manchester United – and host 16th-placed Leeds on Tuesday.
