‘I love working with him’ – Andrey Santos sings Liam Rosenior’s praises | OneFootball

Liam Rosenior was not widely known in France before this season. The English manager’s time as the caretaker manager at Derby County in 2022 before then taking on a permanent role at Hull City until last season had gone unnoticed.

His appointment over the summer hardly set pulses racing in the east of France, but very quickly, the supporters understood they had someone very exciting at the helm of this young squad.

Rosenior’s reputation across France has skyrocketed with his side playing a dynamic and, at times, breathtaking brand of football that has seen the club climb up the table and challenge for a place in next season’s European competitions.

Andrey Santos feels ‘useful’ under Liam Rosenior

The manager has earned the respect and praise of his contemporaries, all of which is deserved according to the one of the stars of his team, Chelsea loannee Andrey Santos (20). In an interview with L’Équipe, the midfielder sung the praises of his head coach. “He’s a great coach. I love working with him,” Santos stated. “I love working with him. All the players are excited by his commitment, his vision. Plus, the style he wants is perfect for me.”

Santos explained, “He wants possession, to multiply passes to bother opponents, and he wants to win, that’s the most important thing. He asks me to do everything: defend, win the ball back, and pass it as cleanly as possible. But he also gives me the freedom to be myself, to shoot from distance, to enter the box. I feel useful.”
