Wayne Rooney has dropped a hint about his ambitions of becoming Everton manager in the footage while looking around Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium.
The Man United legend began his illustrious playing career with the Toffees, breaking through into the first team at the age of 16 before sealing a move to Old Trafford.
He also returned to Goodison Park following a 13-year stay with the Red Devils, making 40 appearances before moving onto DC United and Derby County, now going into the world of management.
Spells with Derby, Birmingham City and Plymouth Argyle have not given him the brightest start to his managerial career, even facing relegation with two of those clubs, but his ambitions are still sky-high.
Wayne Rooney wants Everton manager job in the future
Appearing on Everton’s YouTube channel [6 March], Rooney explored Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium for the first time, taking in the surroundings as the final touches are being put on the new ground.
When asked where he’d like to be sat in the stadium, he replied: “There!” while pointing straight at the home side’s dugout with a huge grin on his face.
While the 39-year-old was clearly having a laugh and joking about his comments, there is no doubt that there was a slight truth behind them, even if much further down the line in his career.
David Moyes successor already found at Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium
David Moyes has done an incredible job at Everton since being appointed in January, leading the Toffees away from the relegation zone and up the Premier League table
It is unclear exactly what the new owners have planned for the future, with the appointment of Moyes raising many eyebrows on Merseyside, but it looks to have been a very good decision.
While Rooney has been unable to prove himself as a manager quite yet, but with the current manager showing no signs of slowing down, it could be a while until a new figure is needed by the Blues.
This would allow the Man United legend enough time to develop his trade, gain experience, and possibly one day, lead out his old team as manager.
