“Coaching Is Not for Wayne Rooney”- Birmingham City Sacking the Manchester United Legend Leads to a Trolling Spree Online

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney is currently being trolled across the internet by soccer fans. These actions have been spurred by Birmingham City’s recent decision to terminate Wayne Rooney’s contract. Just two months ago, in October, the 38-year-old was appointed as the head coach of the Championship side with high hopes for success. Regrettably, his tenure turned out to be a disaster.

Under Rooney’s leadership, Birmingham City only managed to secure victory in 2 out of their 15 Championship matches. This significant decline in performance has seen them slide from a promotion play-off spot to now battling relegation at the 20th position in the table. This string of disappointments has ultimately led to his departure after a mere 13 weeks.

After the news of his dismissal, fans have taken to X to troll Wayne Rooney while raising doubts about his managerial skills.

Recognizing Wayne Rooney’s status as a legendary soccer player one fan took a jibe at how a good player doesn’t mean an efficient manager, which we have seen in the past with names like Diego Maradona, Alan Shearer, Roy Keane, to name a few.

There was even a humorous comment from a fan asking if Birmingham City would consider recruiting football icon Tom Brady.

A fan even suggested that Wayne Rooney should consider returning to the world of boxing, a sport he briefly experimented with in 2015.

In addition to the trolling, there are also fans expressing their desire for Wayne Rooney to replace Erik ten Hag as the coach of Manchester United.

They have also made similar calls for him to take on the managerial role at Lionel Messi‘s Inter Miami.

Despite all these troll comments, Wayne Rooney remains steadfast in his pursuit of a career as a manager. After the announcement, the former winger also acknowledged that this setback was significant. Nonetheless, he still is continuing to prepare for the next opportunity that arises in his managerial journey.
