An unexpected destination for Rooney.

Wayne Rooney has surprisingly been targeted for the managerial position at Macclesfield, a team currently playing in the National League North, the sixth tier of English football.

Following unsuccessful spells at Derby County, DC United, and Birmingham City, Rooney endured another bleak period at Plymouth, where he only managed the team for a few months before his contract was terminated due to a string of poor results that saw the team relegated to the bottom of the Championship table.

Nevertheless, Rooney's professional work style and reputation still seem to hold a certain appeal for teams looking for a bold change on the coaching bench.

According to The Sun , Macclesfield are considering bringing in Rooney to replace Robbie Savage, who is set to leave the club to join Forest Green Rovers, a League Two team. Savage, also a former player and co-owner of Macclesfield, led the team to an impressive promotion win with 109 points from 42 games last season.

Rooney has been given the opportunity to return to the coaching seat.

However, approaching Rooney might not be easy. Recently, the former striker himself stated that he is happy with his television work and is not ready to return to the coaching bench.

“I’m doing television work and I’m really enjoying it. So that’s where I want to focus right now,” Rooney told talkSPORT. His wife, Colleen Rooney, also confirmed that her husband is happy with his role as a football analyst and podcaster.

This uncertainty hasn't stopped Macclesfield from seeking a worthy replacement for Savage. The club has demonstrated great ambition in recent years, and signing Rooney would be a bold move to enhance its image and attract media attention.

Meanwhile, the story at Plymouth continues to be interesting as the club has appointed Tom Cleverley, another former Manchester United player, as head coach, replacing Rooney's successor Miron Muslic, who has just moved to Schalke.
