A source told The Sun: “Wayne is enjoying his telly work, but he does want to get back into management. He will be open to it if the right opportunity comes up.
“Ideally, he would get something at the start of the summer so he is in position for the start of the season in August.”
Rooney's last job with Plymouth Argyle, which lasted seven months before he left in May 2024.
