Is a 'Man United legend to City coach' scenario possible
3 min read

Wayne Rooney has revealed that he would accept the Manchester City coaching job if Pep Guardiola asked him.


According to a report in the UK's Tribune on Nov. 21, Rooney appeared on YouTube's "The Overlap," hosted by his former Manchester United teammate Gary Neville, and was asked if he could see himself coaching instead of managing in the future.


Rooney replied: "It depends on the situation. If Guardiola offered me a coaching job, I would go to Man City. The things that Mikel Arteta is doing at Arsenal right now, I'm sure he learned under Guardiola. So, depending on the situation, I will be able to make that decision."


Rooney is a Manchester United legend and England international. He is the club's all-time leading goalscorer with 253 goals for the Red Devils. He also has a keen eye for goal for the England national soccer team, scoring 53 goals in 120 caps. He's also England's second all-time leading goalscorer.

At his peak with United, Rooney won five Premier League (PL) titles, one UEFA Champions League (UCL) title, and four League Cups. He went on to play for Everton, DC United, and Derby County before retiring from the game.


Rooney was a player-coach at Derby County at the end of his playing career. He took over as interim manager in the 2020-21 season when Philip Cocu was sacked, before becoming permanent manager in January 2021. However, Derby County was in 사설토토 financial turmoil and was eventually relegated to the English Football League (EFL) League One (third tier). Rooney also left the club, and shortly afterward, he took charge of his hometown club DC United.

DC United, who hired Rooney midseason, finished 13th in the Eastern Conference that season. The 2023 season was no better. They improved to ninth in the league, but failed to qualify for the round of 16 in the Final Series playoffs, and to make matters worse, Rooney left the team after a falling out with the DC United organization.


Rooney found a new team once again, and it was Birmingham City. However, Rooney didn"t stay in Birmingham for long. Before Rooney"s arrival, Birmingham was in sixth place (18 points) with five wins, three draws, and three defeats in 11 Championship games, but since then, they"ve dropped to 20th place in the league, with two wins, four draws, and nine defeats in 15 games. Birmingham eventually sacked Rooney.


Now unemployed, Rooney recently spoke to Neville about his interest in returning to coaching, but not as a manager. He said it would depend on the situation and cited Guardiola as an example. It is surprising that Rooney, a United legend, would accept an offer from Guardiola and say he would go to 'rivals' Man City.
