Former Everton star Wayne Rooney has been announced as the head coach of Major League Soccer side D.C United.
The 36-year-old completes the move having spent over a year as manager of Derby County following his appointment in January 2021. Prior to the promotion, he had a successful stint as interim player-manager where he helped guide the Rams to Championship safety.
However, last season was an even greater challenge for Rooney as a 21-point deduction played a crucial role in their relegation from the division. Rooney confirmed his departure from Derby County last month, saying the club needed 'fresh energy' to guide them during these uncertain times.
