- Former Derby manager reveals interest from clubs in Europe
Wayne Rooney has been announced as the new head coach of DC United, and dismissed suggestions that returning to his former Major League Soccer side represents a “backward step” in his managerial career.
Rooney also revealed there had been “a few other clubs, both in England and in Europe, who got in touch” following his exit from Derby, but that he had been planning to “take a bit of a break” before the DC United opportunity came up.
