JAKARTA - Wayne Rooney will enliven the competition in Major League soccer (MLS). Not as a player, but as a coach.

Wayne Rooney has been officially appointed as DC United coach. This moment was special because the former Manchester United player had joined as a DC United player in the 2018-2022 era.

He admitted that he was very happy, even so enthusiastic. Wayne Rooney can't wait to start his job as a tactician for the MLS club.

"It's really exciting to be back at DC United, this time as a coach. Really excited to get started," wrote Rooney on his Twitter account.

The status as a coach is not the first time Rooney has lived. In the 2020/2021 season he has also started his career in the coaching world by becoming a player who doubles as a coach at Derby County.

After having had concurrent jobs, Rooney finally took a single position as Derby County coach in early January 2021 until last season.

During his time as a player, Rooney was known as one of the best players in the world. Moreover, he has also started his career in the field since he was a teenager.

After stealing the show with Everton, Man Utd then recruited Rooney. At Man Utd, Rooney reached the peak of his career by winning various titles.

When he was a player at DC United, Rooney's appearance was also unquestionable. Because of the opportunity to appear 48 times, he was recorded to contribute 23 goals for his team.
