"He came in and brought a real sense of positivity, Cyrus Christie tells FourFourTwo, having been part of that Hull City squad. He made it clear that it would be a process, the main part was stabilising us and trying to pick up points. Defensive shape was his initial priority. This early impact saw the side lose just one of Rosenior's first nine league games. We felt far more secure at the back, Christie continues."
"Liam had a clear way of communicating and was very open. Sometimes, a player might challenge something and Liam was happy to talk it over. He created a really good environment. Liam's style was based on building play out from the back, recycling the ball and waiting for openings. Out of possession, we pressed as a unit and everybody knew their job."
"Liam Rosenior's first permanent job in management came at Hull City (Image credit: Getty Images) Liam Rosenior's 18-month spell in charge of Hull City marked the former Tigers, Fulham and Reading defender's first permanent job in management and despite the relatively short spell in charge of the club, he would make a lasting impression. A seventh-place finish at the end of the 2023/24 campaign saw Rosenior dismissed by owner Acun Ilicali as the pair disagreed on the club's footballing philosophy."
Liam Rosenior's first permanent managerial role was an 18-month spell at Hull City. He left the club after a seventh-place finish in 2023/24 following a disagreement with owner Acun Ilicali over footballing philosophy. Rosenior prioritized defensive shape and stabilization, leading to the side losing only one of his first nine league games and improved defensive confidence. He emphasized clear communication, openness to player feedback, squad harmony, building play from the back, recycling possession, and coordinated pressing out of possession. Rosenior guided Hull to 15th in his first season, oversaw significant summer turnover, and integrated young loanees including Liam Delap.
