Overview
- Rooney said he would consider managing again only if the 'right' job arises, ruling out situations that require living away from his children as he did in DC, Plymouth and Birmingham.
- He cited budget constraints at Plymouth and the heightened media scrutiny attached to his name as factors that worked against previous roles.
- For now he is prioritizing television work, with regular punditry appearances and his own program, The Wayne Rooney Show, which launched in August 2025.
- The 40-year-old’s recent posts ended with sackings at Birmingham City and Plymouth Argyle, while his spells at Derby County and DC United concluded by resignation and mutual consent.
- He did not dismiss a move into boxing, saying it would depend on the offer, though he also suggested he may have 'missed the boat' on that possibility.
