Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney is set to be unveiled in a new role away from the dugout after landing a big-money job following unsuccessful coaching stints.
Wayne Rooney is reportedly poised to trade the manager's dugout for the television studio, signing a lucrative deal to become a regular pundit on the BBC's flagship football program, Match of the Day.
The 39-year-old former England captain has been out of management since leaving Plymouth Argyle by mutual consent in December, concluding a challenging seven-month spell. This marked Rooney's fourth managerial role in recent years, following stints at Derby County, DC United, and Birmingham City.
Since stepping back from coaching, Rooney has openly embraced punditry work, appearing on Amazon Prime Video for Champions League coverage and making guest appearances on Match of the Day.

Arsenal Close To Sealing Gyokeres Transfer As Striker Hunt Nears Completion

Rooney's arrival coincides with a period of change for Match of the Day following Gary Lineker's departure. The BBC is looking to refresh its punditry team alongside presenters Kelly Cates, Mark Chapman, and Gabby Logan.
Insiders describe Rooney as "warm, witty, and forensically knowledgeable," believing his insights will be a valuable asset as the show adapts to the evolving media landscape. This move also comes as Rooney's wife, Coleen, expands her own media presence, reportedly signing a £10 million deal with Disney for a family documentary.
