Rosenior, the assistant coach of Brighton and Hove Albion’s Under-23s, could join Jonathan Woodgate’s management team at Middlesbrough.
Middlesbrough want the Brighton Under-23s assistant, Liam Rosenior, to join their new-look management team, according to The Sun.
The newspaper claims Middlesbrough will promote Woodgate from first-team number two to manager.
And the former Smoggies defender is said to be lining up a reunion with Robbie Keane, his old Leeds and Tottenham teammate, as one of his right-hand men.
But the other position could go to Rosenior, who is eager to further his fledgling coaching career, according to The Sun.
And although there is no indication of Brighton’s stance within the newspaper’s report, the Seagulls may be reluctant to stunt his progression.
The former Brighton right-back has impressed as a specialist English Football League pundit for Sky TV, combining his role with the sole coast club.
The goalkeeper coach, Leo Petkovic, is also said to have held talks about working under Woodgate at Middlesbrough, whom he previously served under Aitor Karanka.
Would the Brighton coach be a good addition for Middlesbrough?
