That has included Plymouth Argyle, who narrowly avoided relegation from the Championship on the final day of the season.
However, the 39-year-old is believed to have turned down an approach from the club.
Rosenior was sacked by Hull just days after missing out on a spot in the Championship play-offs, losing to Plymouth on the final day of the season.
He had been nominated for Championship manager of the season, missing out to Ipswich's Kieran McKenna.

He was also twice nominated for Championship manager of the month in 2023/24, most recently in April.
Rosenior had been in charge since November 2022, replacing Shota Arveladze with the club just one point above the relegation zone at the time.
Speaking about his departure for the first time, he released a statement through the League Managers Association (LMA) that read: “It has been an honour, a joy and a pleasure to lead a football club that I love for the last 18 months.

“I would like to thank every member of staff, every player I worked with, every fan who supported us on the journey and also to Acun Ilicali and Tan Kesler for believing in me enough to give me the opportunity to manage Hull City.
“I take immense pride in the massive progress and growth of the club in this period, both on and off the pitch, and the small part I played in it. I genuinely hope that the hard work of everybody at the football club continues to move things in an upward trajectory.
“Working with Acun, Tan and his football brain team has been an incredible learning experience and with the passion, energy, determination and hard work they have put into this club, I am sure they will get the vision and success that they crave in the long term.

“Seeing the team and players develop, improve and grow in an 18 month period, in a style that we believed in, has been amazing and I have enjoyed every moment of working with an outstanding group of people who gave me trust, spirit and togetherness, not just in games, but in every single training session that we worked in. Great people who I have loved being around. Always together.
“Every member of staff gave their all to assist the players and me in this process and for that I am truly grateful. It was a joy to come to work every day. Special people who created a special environment. Thank you.
