It didn’t work out in Derby County. It didn’t work out in DC United (USA) and it didn’t work out in Birmingham City. Wayne Rooney doesn’t have luck, or he doesn’t have the capacity to be a successful coach in football. And what is the accurate assessment of these two is something we will learn in a few years’ time. After all, even famous Roy Hodgson acknowledged that every coach needs time and that Rooney (or others) does not have a ‘magic wand to turn things around quickly’. His recent sack from Birmingham didn’t discourage the former Manchester United captain from trying again. On the contrary. Rooney admits he would sign for City if Pep asked him“I definitely want to get back into management. The aim is to manage in the Premier League eventually, Manchester United or Everton are the dream jobs, but it’s a process. In the next 10 years hopefully I can be in with a chance of taking one of the top jobs” he said on BBC One.’Rooney doesn’t have a magic wand to turn things around quickly’His recent stint with Birmingham City didn’t go well. The club was in the 6th position when he was appointed by the new American owners and lost nine out of next 15 games before being sacked. His version of events is a bit different, as he was much more focused on the timing of the hire. “Maybe the timing wasn’t right when I went in at Birmingham, the fans didn’t accept me from day one. It was a setback what happened at Birmingham but I’m a fighter and I want to get back into it. You know as a manager part of the job is being sacked and having setbacks and it’s about how you bounce back. I’ve had time to reflect and know what to do next time. I’ve never signed a player for any money so that would be nice next time I’ve had time to reflect and know what to do next time” he said. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7910239##
