The British newspaper “Manchester Evening News” confirmed that Wayne Rooney entered the circle of candidates to take over the technical management of Everton.
And the club belonging to the city of Liverpool had taken the decision to dismiss Frank Lampard, its coach, against the background of poor results in the English Premier League, and a retreat to the 19th and penultimate place in the competition standings table.
Everton will choose between several alternatives, as media reports put forward prominent names such as Sean Dyche and Marcelo Bielsa, in addition to Rooney.
The former England international is currently leading the American DC United.
Rooney has a close relationship with Everton, who grew up with the club’s youth teams and represented them for two seasons at the start of his professional career before moving to Manchester United.
It is not yet clear what the 37-year-old’s position on succeeding Lampard will be, but supporters of the idea of appointing him will encourage himself to change his previous opinion.
Rooney had previously revealed his rejection of an offer from Everton while he was still at the head of the technical management of Derby County, which is active in the English second division.
The retired striker said at the time, “I believe that I will be a technical director in the Premier League, and I am ready for that 100%. But I have a job with Derby County, and it is important for me.”
