Liam Rosenior builds in Strasbourg with Premier League ambition | OneFootball

Liam Rosenior, 41, is slowly gaining recognition in England while he dreams of managing in the Premier League. He takes Strasbourg to Aberdeen on Thursday in the Conference League.

According to L'Équipe, European commitments mean he often fronts the press four times a week, so Strasbourg limit extra media work. In 2025 he has spoken to English media only three times.

His representatives say momentum around him is positive despite limited exposure, and that half of Premier League clubs are watching.

Local reporters urge caution, noting no English outlet attended Wednesday’s Aberdeen press conference and arguing he remains far from mainstream after being sacked by Hull and serving as interim at Derby, even if his standing inside the game is rising.

Observers say most English fans have barely watched Strasbourg, aside from the 2-1 against Crystal Palace on 27 November, and some suggest he might need to win the Conference League to draw the biggest clubs.

He has been mentioned at Wolverhampton, who are bottom of the Premier League, and at Fulham, but his camp say he aims higher and is content at Strasbourg as a place to develop.

Pressure has shown, with a row over refereeing at Lyon in the 1-2 on 26 October before an apology, and a red card in the 2-0 against Lille on 9 November.

Six defeats in 10 Ligue 1 rounds have hardened his management, and he knows the tough spells will shape his appraisal, including by BlueCo.
