Playing career


Rosen made his Bundesliga debut for Eintracht Frankfurt on 20 February 1999 when he came on as a substitute for Frank Gerster in the 86th minute against TSV 1860 München. While under contract with Frankfurt, Rosen went on loan with FC Augsburg and VfL Osnabrück. After his return to Frankfurt, he played in three more matches in the 2. Bundesliga before leaving for 1. FC Saarbrücken prior to the 2003–04 season. After a short stint with Sportvereinigung Elversberg, he switched to Norwegian club Follo Fotball in December 2005. In Norway, Rosen also worked as an assistant for the club's management. After his two-year-stint with Follo, he moved to the Stuttgarter Kickers in the Regionalliga Süd. Rosen finished his playing career at Hoffenheim, playing his last match in December 2010.




Management career


Rosen started his formal training as a sports business administrator in 2009 while still playing professional football, enrolling at the University of Applied Sciences at Schmalkalden to study sports economics. In November 2010, Rosen became Hoffenheim's development performance centre manager. In April 2013, he was promoted to head of professional football at Hoffenheim. Since October 2013, his official job title has been director of football. Rosen has been frequently praised for Hoffenheim's ability to remain competitive in the Bundesliga despite its relatively small size and budget, relying on successful player development and innovative transfer moves. In July 2022, his contract was extended to 2025.
