""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."
Liam Rosenior is not bothered by memes comparing him to television characters and is not on social media. His teenage children informed him of comparisons to Will McKenzie and David Brent. He is not afraid to be himself, whether wearing glasses, speaking emphatically, or not matching a typical manager image. He expected online reaction when taking the Chelsea job and recognizes the memes affect his family, but treats the attention with confidence. Since joining Chelsea he has won seven of his first nine matches, became the second English manager to win his first four Premier League games, and guided the club into the Champions League last 16 after a 3-2 win at Napoli. Chelsea sit fifth in the Premier League.
