Rooney was in charge for 15 matches, taking over from John Eustace who had the team in the play-offs at the time of his sacking. When Rooney was relieved of his duties, they dropped down to 20th and were six points above the relegation zone. He oversaw just two wins during his time in the dugout, and picked up 10 points from a possible 45.

Since his departure from St Andrew’s, he has appeared on Gary Neville’s podcast the Overlap, as well as doing some punditry work for the BBC for their FA Cup coverage. Rooney was also on TNT Sport in March, offering his expertise between the meeting between two of his former clubs Manchester United and Everton. Should he not find a job in football management, it’s likely that he will be with the BBC for their coverage of EURO 2024.
