Former England and Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has been sacked by Birmingham City after a disappointing run, winning only two of his 15 matches in charge. The club dropped from sixth to 20th in the Championship under his management. Despite a challenging managerial record, Rooney is now seeking a new job. Potential opportunities include:
Salford City: Owned by his former Manchester United teammates, Salford City in League Two could be a potential option for Rooney, allowing him to work with familiar faces.
Inter Miami: With David Beckham owning MLS side Inter Miami, Rooney might find an opportunity to return to the MLS, where he previously played for DC United.
Saudi Arabia: The Saudi Pro League has attracted notable players and managers, and Rooney’s legendary status could make him an attractive option for one of their clubs.
England: A long-shot possibility is the England national team job, especially if Gareth Southgate departs after the Euros. Rooney’s international experience and scoring record could make him a candidate.
Manchester United: Though a significant long-shot, given Rooney’s extensive playing career at Old Trafford, the club might consider him if there is a change in the managerial role.
Rooney’s future remains uncertain, but these options could provide him with opportunities to reshape his managerial career.
