Wayne Rooney is about to become the new manager of one of the biggest English clubs after being sacked by Birmingham City
According to The Sun, Wayne Rooney is eager to return to football management and is considering taking head of the Saudi Pro League.
According to the source, the former Manchester United player is considering joining one of Saudi Arabia’s clubs, following in the footsteps of his former England teammate Steven Gerrard.
According to sources close to the player, he is eager to return to management and would be delighted to command a team in the Middle East.
The Sun further reports that Rooney has been made aware of prospective interest from a Saudi team, which sees his appointment as a way to raise the league’s image.
Rooney is now on holiday in Dubai after being fired from Birmingham. He failed to make an effect at the English club, winning only two out of 15 games and being fired after only three months in command.
The tenure at Birmingham may have been a setback for his managerial career, and a move to Saudi Arabia could provide Rooney with a new opportunity to demonstrate his managerial ability.
