Liam Rosenior, Chelsea's new head coach, isn't fazed by online mockery about his awkward misstep during a recent match against Arsenal. The 41-year-old, who has become a laughingstock on social media for his quotes and mannerisms, simply shrugs off the jokes, choosing to focus on having fun instead.
Rosenior's self-deprecating attitude is evident in his response to being compared to David Brent, the infamous fictional character from The Office. He says life is too short to worry about what others think of him, emphasizing that one should be able to laugh at themselves. It's unclear whether he's aware of other Premier League clubs making fun of his clumsiness on social media.
Despite facing ridicule over a recent incident where he struggled with the ball during Chelsea's Carabao Cup semi-final match against Arsenal, Rosenior insists he has been working hard to improve. When asked about this in an interview, he mentioned that some of his teammates, including 18-year-old Brazilian winger Estêvão Willian, have poked fun at him over the mishap.
However, instead of taking offense, Rosenior chose to laugh it off with his team. "The lads have played it back to me on the video and we've had a laugh about it," he said. This carefree attitude is quite a departure from the usual stern demeanor associated with football coaches.
Rosenior's focus now seems to be creating the right culture at Chelsea, where his players are engaged in pre-match huddles in the centre circle. The influence of Willie Isa, the player support and development officer, can be seen in this approach. For Rosenior, it all begins with the mind – a positive mindset is key to unlocking success.
The coach also defended Alejandro Garnacho, who was taken off during their recent match against West Ham. He denied that the young winger lacks confidence to take on full-backs, saying instead that his ceiling for success in life is limitless. Rosenior's approach seems refreshing in the cutthroat world of football, where coaches are often expected to be serious and stern figures.

anyway, good on him for not taking it seriously and focusing on having fun with his teammates... but what i really want to see is if he can actually get the team to win some matches now 
. But seriously, it's good that he's choosing to focus on having a laugh about it instead of taking offense. The fact that his teammates are all teasing each other and having a laugh in the huddle is pretty cool, I guess.
It's not easy for a coach to be seen as goofy on social media, but he's showing us that there's more to him than just his awkward moments. I think it's refreshing that he's focusing on having fun and creating a positive culture at Chelsea 
️. He's got some great team guys behind him, like Estêvão Willian, who are poking fun at him and making the locker room an even more enjoyable place 
. Maybe this is just what football needs - a coach who isn't too serious all the time? I'm intrigued to see how he develops his team's mindset and creates that winning culture 
.
his players seem to vibe with him too 
maybe they're onto something w/ their pre-match huddles in the centre circle 
What if we were to take a step back and realize that everyone makes mistakes, even coaches who are super experienced? It's like, life is too short to worry about what others think, right? 
We should be focusing on having fun and enjoying the game, not tearing each other down with memes 
. And it sounds like Rosenior is onto something with his carefree approach – creating a positive culture at Chelsea is all about embracing that kind of attitude 
.
we need to take a cue from Rosenior and learn to find the humor in our own mistakes - it's all about perspective, right? life is too short to sweat over what others think of us 
focus on being kind to yourself & others, and you'll be amazed at how much more enjoyable life becomes 
by the way, this whole "culture" thing Rosenior is talking about is super relatable - it's all about creating a vibe where people feel comfortable & empowered to be themselves 
. It's actually kinda refreshing to see a coach who can take a joke and not get his feathers ruffled. His focus on creating the right culture at Chelsea is pretty cool 
. Like, if your players are laughing with each other instead of at you, that's when you know you're doing something right 
especially wif that pre-match huddle thingy in the centre circle 
even if some ppl doubted him rn... Rosenior just needs to get the right players 2 his squad & they'll b golden 
. I mean, Liam Rosenior took some pretty tough jokes from the Arsenal fans about his mishap on the pitch, but instead of getting defensive, he chose to laugh at himself and move forward. It's like, we all have our own brand of clumsiness - whether it's in football or in life 
. And Rosenior seems to be onto something with his focus on creating a positive culture at Chelsea - it's all about setting the right mindset for success 
! He's not taking himself too seriously, and that's awesome 
. Who wouldn't want their coach to have a good sense of humor? It's all about creating a positive vibe among the team players, you know? 
Positive mindset, limitless ceiling... sounds like a winning formula to me 
. I mean, who wouldn't wanna see a coach just chillin' and laughin' at himself? It's like, yeah we all make mistakes, but do we really need to be reminded of 'em every five seconds? For me, it's all about keepin' things in perspective, you know? Life's too short to get caught up in what others think. I'm lovin' the fact that he's focusin' on creatin' a positive culture at Chelsea, where the lads can have fun and just enjoy the game 
Rosenior's approach might not be for everyone, but it's definitely inspiring a different way of thinkin'. And hey, if it works for him and his team, who cares what others say? 
! He's not taking himself too seriously, which is awesome. I mean, who hasn't tripped over their own feet at some point? 
. It's all about creating the right culture, and if players are engaged and feeling good, they're gonna perform better. And Rosenior is totally down to earth about it too 
. He's not one of those stuffy coaches who's gonna get all upset over a little online teasing.
That young guy has got talent pouring out of every pore, and Rosenior is giving him the confidence boost he needs. It's not about being serious or stern; it's about trusting your players to do their jobs. Good on ya, Liam!
