Supply Teacher Rosenior Goes Viral for Hilarious Shithouse Reaction to Win Over Former Club Strasbourg - Fair Play!
Perhaps we all judged you too harshly, Mr Rosenior. Viewed as an overly polite and slightly spineless addition to the Premier League’s managerial ranks back in January, it looked as if the former Hull City man's coaching career had flamed out before catching fire after his disastrous stint at Chelsea.
A combination of bizarre statements – "ageing men” topping the list – false anger and non-sensical tactical choices, the 42-year-old looked out of his depth, and incapable of handling the pressure that comes hand in hand with a top-flight job.
However, though fired from Stamford Bridge just three months into his tenure, Rosenior dusted himself off and went abroad again, this time taking the helm at up-and-coming French outfit Paris FC, a move that has marked a return to the form he had been inspiring during his time in charge of RC Strasbourg, Chelsea’s sister club.
Facing off against his former employers at the weekend, Rosenior masterminded yet another win to maintain his new side's unbeaten start to the season. Perhaps more unexpectedly, though, Rosenior himself was the root of a brawl that took place after the full-time whistle, a moment that could mark the managers' transition from innocent newbie to full-on Mourinho-style villain.

Liam Loses The Plot
On the list of things you would expect to see from Liam Rosenior, shithousery would rather predictably be near the very bottom. Things that sit above that include bringing cupcakes to a game as a re-energising half-time snack and fully carrying his whiteboard out onto the pitch to conduct his half-time team talk.
Clearly though, the hostile attitude of the Strasbourg away fans, the very same ones that ordained Rosenior as the second coming of Jesus less than a year previously, clearly affected the Englishman, who it must be said kept a level head on the sideline throughout.
However, upon the full time whistle, after goals from Ilan Kebbal and Pablo Pagis were enough to outscore a late own goal, Rosenior’s emotion spilt over in the post-game celebrations, and he let his feelings be known right in front of the travelling Strasbourg faithful.

Yelling at full volume, pumping his arms, slapping his chest – Rosenior was giving it the bug ‘un, and it was the first true show of raw emotion that many have seen in Paris coaches' managerial career, as typically, he manages his emotion with painstaking care.
Naturally, both Strasbourg staff and squad took exception to Rosenior’s performative celebrations, and the Englishman was quickly swarmed by both ally and opponent, but try as they might, they couldn’t turn back time to stop him from doing it again. What had happened had happened, and Rosenior had aired out his dirty laundry to those who once backed him.
Frosty Reception
It wasn’t so long ago that Rosenior was making waves for Strasbourg rather than against them. With the full array of Blue Co. and Chelsea B-team prospects at his disposal, Rosenior was making eastern France a very difficult place to go to.
In the two years he sat in the dugout at the Stade de la Meinau, he won more than half of his games, took all three points 32 times, and lost just 17, as Strasbourg went from lower mid-table regulars to European challengers, beating some of the best sides in the country in the process.
Naturally, despite their well-publicised hatred of the Blue Co scheme, the majority of the Strasbourg fans quickly got behind their manager, appreciating his talent and obvious craftsmanship to take Strasbourg from their lowly berth near the relegation zone to nearing the summit of French football.
However, some simply could not look past the fact that Rosenior was a Blue Co appointment and not one handpicked by Strasbourg themselves. This really needn’t have mattered, but some of the things that proper football puritans will get worked up about sometimes do beggar belief.
They never looked favourably upon Rosenior, and they were the ones who were giving pelters when they reacquainted themselves with their former manager at the weekend. It was to these fans that Rosenior was sending a message.
He said so himself in an interview after the games – "People know how much I love Strasbourg, but there’s a part of the supporters who have never wanted to see me succeed.”
It was graceful of the manager to acknowledge the fact that the club played such a big role in bringing him to the forefront of managerial discussion around Europe, but in any role, it is also understandable to react and protect yourself from needless and pointed criticism.
Rosenior pulling out “don’t make a scene” in the middle of him making the biggest of scenes is sensational work. 😂 https://t.co/R6GR57zURK

Did Rosenior go about retaliating to the Strasbourg fans in the wrong way? Probably yes. Are we here for it? Absolutely. For a manager who prior to the game seemingly didn’t have a bad bone in his body, Rosenior can certainly throw down, and the “don’t make a scene” moments after making a scene in front of the Strasbourg fan is a moment that is hard to top.
