According to The Sun, Wayne Rooney is keen on returning to football management and is exploring the option of taking on a managerial role in the Saudi Pro League.
The report suggests that the former Manchester United star is contemplating following the path of his former England teammate Steven Gerrard by potentially managing a club in Saudi Arabia.
Sources close to Rooney indicate his eagerness to re-enter management and his excitement about the possibility of leading a team in the Middle East.
The Sun also mentions that Rooney has been informed of potential interest from a Saudi club, with his appointment seen as a way to raise the league’s profile.
Currently enjoying a holiday in Dubai after his dismissal from Birmingham, where he struggled to make an impact, Rooney only managed to win two out of fifteen games during his brief tenure and was let go after just three months.
His time at Birmingham may have been a setback in his managerial career, and a move to Saudi Arabia could provide Rooney with a fresh opportunity to demonstrate his managerial skills.
