Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has dismissed comparisons to popular television characters David Brent and Will McKenzie. Rosenior, appointed Chelsea manager on 6 January 2026, said he is "not bothered at all" by the online memes. His mannerisms have been likened to Ricky Gervais's character from *The Office*, while his appearance has drawn parallels to Simon Bird's role in *The Inbetweeners*.
Rosenior, 41, revealed his own children find the jokes amusing, sending him funny pictures. He stated he is not on social media and remains focused on his role at Stamford Bridge. The manager has guided Chelsea to a strong start, with seven wins from nine games since his appointment. He believes people will eventually judge him on his on-pitch performance.
