Wayne Rooney 's problematic time as Derby County boss is over - so what next?
The former Everton and Manchester United player began his managerial career at the troubled Championship outfit and was consistently dealing with minimal resources and financial challenges. With the club now in League One Rooney has decided to walk away.
“Today I met with the administrators to inform them of my decision that it was time for me to leave the club. In fairness to them, they tried tremendously hard to change my decision but my mind was made up," he said in a lengthy statement. In his short spell at Pride Park Rooney showed he has the capabilities to cut it in the dugout, but his next challenge may open further doors - or see them slam shut if he opts for the wrong option.
