Managerial career
Born in Oviedo, Asturias, Rozada graduated in law but started his career in 2006 as CD Covadonga's Alevín B manager.[1][2] He subsequently worked at the youth categories of the Asturias autonomous team[3] and Real Oviedo[4] before being appointed manager of Tercera División side CD Lealtad in June 2013.[5]
Rozada achieved promotion to Segunda División B in his first season in charge, and managed to stay in the category in the following two campaigns. On 3 May 2016, he announced his departure from the club,[6] and spent a year unemployed before taking over Real Oviedo Vetusta on 10 July 2017.[7]
On 5 June 2018, after another promotion to division three, Rozada renewed with the Carbayones for a further two years,[8] and took the club to their best-ever position in 2018–19. On 15 September 2019, he was named at the helm of the main squad in Segunda División, replacing fired Sergio Egea.[9]
Rozada's first professional match in charge occurred on 19 September 2019, a 1–1 home draw against Extremadura UD.[10] The following 18 February, as the team fell into the relegation places, he was replaced by José Ángel Ziganda.[11]
On 3 August 2020, Rozada was appointed as the new manager of Segunda División B side Racing de Santander, who had just been relegated from the Segunda División.[12] On 21 December, he was dismissed.[13]
On 7 May 2024, after more than three years without a club, Rozada was appointed as the new manager of Segunda Federación side Real Avilés Industrial CF, on a contract until June 2025, which also included the two relegation play-off matches against CD Manchego Ciudad Real.[14] He led the club to a promotion to Primera Federación in the 2024–25 campaign, but was sacked on 12 August 2025.[15]
In December 2025, he became the head coach of the Cypriot club Krasava ENY Ypsonas FC.[16]
