Derby County head coach Wayne Rooney has said that due to his commitment to the club and a desire to achieve something with them, he is not aspiring to become Manchester United or Everton manager just yet. Recall the manager was allowed to replace Raphael Benitez at Everton but he turned it down before the club finally appointed Frank Lampard as their new manager.
Wayne Rooney Speaks of Manchester United Coaching Job
The former England attacker, however, said that he desires to manage the two “great clubs” in the future. Wayne Rooney is currently doing a spectacular job under difficult circumstances at Pride Park, but hints that he would not mind becoming Everton and United boss.
Manchester United is still struggling in the league despite replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with Ralf Rangnick some months back and Rooney believes that Manchester United’s decision on who becomes the club’s new boss in the summer must be taken with caution.
“The decision at the end of the season, whether Rangnick stays or someone else comes, has to be the right one,” he said. He was then asked if he would take the job at Old Trafford, he said: “Everton and Manchester United are two clubs in the future that I would love to manage. I would love to go in there and challenge myself.”
“They’re two great clubs. I said a couple of weeks ago in the press conference, ‘I’m doing a job at Derby and my focus has to be on that because it’s a day-to-day job that needs all of my attention to get the best out of myself and the players.”
