BBC pundits remark on Liam Rosenior’s move to Sunderland amid social media rumors.
Hull City fired Liam Rosenior on Tuesday, and social media chatter suggests he might be a candidate for the Sunderland post.
Rosenior departs Hull City after less than two years in management, with many considering his dismissal by the Tigers to be quite harsh.
Hull were 21st in the Championship standings when he took charge in late 2022. And he nearly led the team to a play-off spot in the previous season, playing some extremely appealing and successful football along the way.
Since leaving Hull, there has been considerable talk on social media that he may rapidly be considered for the Sunderland post.
The Black Cats are still without a manager after firing Michael Beale in February, with Mike Dodds leading the first team until the conclusion of the season.
Will Still remains widely associated following his departure from Reims at the beginning of May, while Rene Maric is also being linked to the Stadium of Light.
However, Marco Gabbiadini has already spoken on the likelihood of Rosenior moving to Wearside this summer.
Marco Gabbiadini remarks on Liam Rosenior’s move to Sunderland
Gabbiadini, a former Sunderland striker and current BBC analyst, spoke on Total Sport on Rosenior’s interest in the Sunderland job.
Gabbiadini remarked, “I think the club is appealing to a lot of people. I don’t think it’s a poisonous job, but I do believe there are certain issues within the club that you need address if you want to come in.
“I think he’s a coach who seems to have a great reputation; everyone you hear who talks about him, how well he conducts himself, his coaching’s good, he’s been involved at Derby [County] beforehand.”
Gabbiadini said, “I think he would be interested in the job at Sunderland.”
Why Liam Rosenior could reconsider Sunderland.
There’s little doubt that Rosenior is a superb Championship coach, and the Sunderland position remains highly appealing despite the circumstances of this season.
However, Rosenior, like many other coaches, may be put off by the expectations at Sunderland, particularly having been dealt a rough hand at Hull City.
Sunderland supporters and owners want victory right now. However, if the coach is not given the necessary tools to accomplish this, it may reflect negatively on them rather than the team.
So, while it’s an appealing role with a lot of promise, Rosenior may reconsider returning to Sunderland’s managerial ranks.
He has a strong reputation right now, and he’ll want some assurance about his next task, which Sunderland may not be able to provide, or at least not in the quantities he requires.
