Wayne Rooney’s brief tenure as Plymouth Argyle manager came to an end in December after just 25 games. But now, it seems like the England legend could soon be back in the spotlight discussing Leeds United, among other things.
Surprisingly, Rooney may be taking a break from coaching as he is reportedly in talks to join BBC Match of the Day. According to The Sun, the former Derby County boss is eyeing a lucrative deal to join the renowned show following Gary Lineker’s departure at the end of the season.
If all goes well, Rooney could be sitting alongside new hosts Gabby Logan, Mark Chapman, and Kelly Cates, potentially earning up to £200,000 a year based on his appearances.
This news will be particularly exciting for Leeds United fans, as the Whites could be in the Premier League by the time Rooney joins BBC MOTD. This means supporters could hear the 39-year-old discussing their team’s performances in the top flight regularly.
The idea of a former rival manager, particularly one who has struggled to find success in his coaching roles, commenting on Leeds United’s Premier League journey is sure to captivate fans and viewers alike.
