With Sunderland’s Championship rivals, Wayne Rooney is a serious candidate for an unexpected management comeback.
The Championship opponents of Sunderland are drawing near to making an unexpected management choice.
It is possible that Wayne Rooney will make an unexpected comeback to the Championship bench, despite leaving Birmingham City two months ago.
As Plymouth Argyle looks to name a long-term replacement for Ian Foster, Rooney has emerged as the front-runner to take over. After Steven Schumacher moved to Stoke City, the former England youth manager took over as head coach. However, the team was led by first-team coach Kevin Nancekivell and director of football Neil Dewsnip in the final weeks of the season, as they just survived relegation.
Now that he is ramping up his search for a new head coach, Newsnip is reportedly anxious to appoint Rooney, whom he knows well from his stint as Everton’s academy boss. In the upcoming days, more discussions are anticipated.
