Strasbourg to take over the reins from Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge back in January.<\/p>\n<p>But there has also been some skepticism about the way in the which Rosenior communicates and presents himself in the media, with his style often drawing unflattering comparisons to The Office\u2019s David Brent.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Kevin Kilbane \u2013 who played alongside Rosenior at Hull City
