Pundit: Wayne Rooney reveals Everton management ambition after rejecting approach

Wayne Rooney, a former player, maintains that he still hopes to manage Everton again.

The star from Croxteth, who spent two stints at Goodison Park from 2002–04 and 2017–18, is currently unemployed as a result of

Birmingham City firing him in January. In his 83 days in charge, he won only two of his 15 games. When Frank Lampard, the

year-old hopes to still climb the managerial ladder in order to be considered for the top positions at his other former clubs and

eventually succeed Sean Dyche. “Managing Manchester United or Everton is the aim,

these big jobs are where you want to get to,” Rooney stated to Match of the Day.

But there’s a procedure. I need to follow the instructions and put myself back on track.

“My goal is to return to management so that, hopefully, within the next ten years, I’ll be able to take on a major role.”

“I’m determined to return to management. What occurred in Birmingham was a setback, but I’m a warrior,

and I want to get back into it.

“You understand that having setbacks and getting fired is a part of the job for a manager. It matters how you recover.

“I’ve had some time to think about it, and I’ll make sure I do it correctly the next time.”

Rooney has previously stated that following Benitez’s dismissal in January 2022,

the Blues contacted his agent in search of a new manager.
