"He was always one you'd expect to go on and coach. Liam was interested in what the coaches were doing and was constantly asking questions."
"Most players on the way back from away games will play cards on the coach, or just sit and have a chat. Liam would do that too, but I also remember him reading a lot and watching videos of old matches."
"He loved reading books about Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho in particular, getting an insight into the methods and mentalities of the great modern managers. It was so obvious he'd become a coach."
Curtis Davies built a reputation as a thoughtful pundit and a natural leader after a playing career spanning Luton Town, West Bromwich Albion, Aston Villa, Birmingham City, Hull City, Derby County and Cheltenham Town, retiring in 2024. Davies and Liam Rosenior played 44 games together at Hull and later reunited at Derby when Rosenior joined Wayne Rooney's coaching staff in 2021. Rosenior organised much of Derby's tactics and style while showing constant curiosity about coaching, studying videos and reading books on managers such as Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho, indicating a clear trajectory into management.
