Ex-Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney is reportedly thinking about going back to England with Birmingham City, and his friend and minority owner of the team, Tom Brady, is the reason for this decision.
Rooney, who is presently the DC United coach in the MLS, is reportedly showing interest in the project being created by Birmingham City’s new mangement in the English second division, known as the Championship.
The expert is regarded as a global figure in the soccer world and can bring big names ot the club, with the vision of taking Birmingham City back to the Premier League in the near future.
Brady, who won seven Super Bowl rings and one of the greatest names to ever grace the NFL, is constantly in contact with Rooney and is said to be the one facilitating the potential move. There is a chance that Rooney will return to England if he got the right opportunity.
Working with Birmingham City would also mean that Rooney and his family go back to their exquisite Chesire mansion, valued at more than 20 million, once they have completed their time in the United States.
Birmingham, presently managed by John Eustace, made a great start in the Championship, sitting fourth in the table thanks to three wins and two draws.
Rooney had planned to be a manage for another English club after his time with DC United in MLS. Reports state he is frustrated by the lack of communication with the American club’s owners over making a new offer, as his contract expires in December.
While speaking recently, Wayne Rooney aired his frustration at the lack of communication from the club about his future and hammered on the need to plan for the next season properly.
“I’m a bit disappointed and frustrated that there has been no contact for two months,” said Rooney. “I asked about a new deal. We can sit down and talk about it, but I haven’t heard back.
“I asked to sit down and talk because we need to move forward with planning for next season and that’s frustrating because I’d rather know what the plan is anyway because we need to plan for next season. We need to do it sooner rather than later.”
A return to England, courtesy for Brady and Birmingham City, may signify a new chapter in Rooney’s career as a coach.
