Wayne Rooney reveals he may have played the last game of his career as he admitted he was ready to retire and become a full-time manager.

  • Wayne Rooney will retire as the next manager of the derby
  • The interim manager promoted him to head the team this weekend
  • The fact that Rooney will succeed Philip Coke is far from certain
  • The derby is being sought to acquire $ 60 million from the Abu Dhabi royal family

Wayne Rooney is ready to call the time on his 18-year playing field if he is appointed permanent manager of Derby County.

The England goal-scorer will oversee the home game against Wycombe after being promoted to lead the interim coaching team.

Rooney, who expects Sheikh Khalid bin Zayed Al Nahyan to complete his $ 60 million acquisition next week, has announced his retirement as a player, but has made it clear he does not believe he can do both roles at the same time.

The new owners are not here yet, but they are only days away from being finalized, so I need to focus on the team. I am sure I will be able to answer these questions better in the near future.

‘Management is what I want to do, I see what I do. Saturday was the right decision not to focus my entire attention on managing the team by participating in the game.

We all do our best to help Derby get out of this mess.

Having scored just six points from their first 13 games, the Derby are at the bottom of the championship and need to quickly revive their fortunes.
