There are certain factors that come into management that are within your control, and some that are not.

Some coaches will understand that results and style of play can often be the benchmark against which you are judged, and the reality is that they can end up losing you your job. Although for Leroy Rosenior losing his job at Torquay United came in circumstances completely out of his control.

After returning to Plainmoor for his second spell in charge earlier this year, Rosenior found out soon after being unveiled to the media that the club had been taken over and a new manager would be appointed.

For all the difficulties that presented Rosenior, he took solace from his involvement on the Pro Licence course and was keen to remain in touch with his fellow students.

Speaking exclusively to TheFA.com, Rosenior said: "After losing my job this year this course has been great to keep me involved with other coaches, people think you would be embarassed coming here but it's not like that at all.

"I feel better being involved and it's given me that different perspective on things being out of football when I talk to people who are still in the game.

"It keeps you on an even keel, you would think that when you lose your job you would go away and not speak to anyone, you just want to disappear - but this course has mean't I haven't been able to shut myself off."

The way the course is delivered at Warwick also gave Rosenior a comfortable feeling that he was able to gather a lot of information from the other students.

"You learn so much even when you are out of the classroom and away from the training pitch. The setup of the residential course in bringing the coaches together at Warwick is great, and the opportunities at meals and during the down time really help.

"You would think there would be a reserved attitude, and in the early part that exists but being together in a social setting as well as an educational one really builds the spirit and people open up to eachother - from that you can learn so much.

"The course is really suited to the people who take it, we're football people and intelligent in our own way, but sitting in front of a computer for hours on end writing up reports is not what I want to do, I want to be out on the training field.

"The interaction has made everyone comfortable and the way The FA delivers it has been superb."
