“As well as penning a playing contract with Derby, Rooney will join the club as a coach and continue to develop his coaching credentials in preparation for a potential managerial career,” it further stated.
Interestingly, Derby was managed by a former national teammate of Wayne, Frank Lampard until last season. Lampard is currently in charge of Chelsea.
It is worth noting that Wayne is England’s all-time highest goal-scorer with as many as 53 goals in 120 matches. He also has another 253 goals to his name with Manchester United. Rooney is also five-time Premier League winner and has won the FA Cup and Champions League once.
