Sunderland’s search for a new manager may face some competition from Burnley, as Liam Rosenior, their top managerial target, has emerged as a strong contender for the Burnley boss position, according to talkSPORT. After Vincent Kompany left Burnley to become the Bayern Munich boss, the club is in search of a new manager, with former Chelsea and Everton boss Frank Lampard also in the running for the job.
Despite being sacked by Hull City at the end of last season, Rosenior is highly regarded in the Championship for the job he did in almost securing a playoff spot for Hull. This has attracted interest from several clubs, including Sunderland, who have been considering him as their top choice for the managerial post at the Stadium of Light.
However, Burnley’s interest in Rosenior adds a new dimension to the managerial race. The young coach has been cautious in committing to a new job since leaving Hull, but the opportunity at Burnley could be enticing, especially with the prospect of a larger budget due to Premier League parachute payments.
With both Sunderland and Burnley vying for Rosenior’s services, the decision could come down to factors such as the club’s ambitions, resources, and the overall fit for the manager. It remains to be seen how the managerial saga will unfold and who will eventually take over the reins at either club. The competition for Rosenior’s signature adds an interesting twist to the managerial merry-go-round in the football world.
