The scrutiny faced by Rosenior has raised questions about the culture surrounding young English coaches in top-tier roles. Despite his obvious promise, his tendency to articulate himself in a certain way has led to accusations of being "over the top". Rosenior, however, remains unphased by these judgements, insisting that he will not change his personality to suit a certain managerial archetype.
The coach admitted that people often form opinions before meeting him, but he remains comfortable in his own skin. “I don’t know if you’re trying to lead me to say anything,” he said. “It doesn’t affect me. I’ve been prepared to do this job for years, for decades, and I knew what would come with it. And it actually doesn’t affect me at all, because I know the focus is doing the job and enjoying it.
“I love this job. I’m enjoying it. I’m not afraid to be myself. If I wear glasses, if I sound a little bit over the top when I speak, or articulate myself in a certain way, or I don’t look like a manager, it doesn’t bother me at all.”
