D.C. United has reportedly agreed to terms with former player Wayne Rooney to make him the club’s new manager
“Today I met with the administrators to inform them of my decision that it was time for me to leave the club,” he said in a statement. “In fairness to them, they tried tremendously hard to change my decision but my mind was made up. My time at the club has been a rollercoaster of emotions, both highs and lows, but I have to say that I have enjoyed the challenge.”
His newest club won’t be a picnic, though. D.C. United and former manager Hernán Losada parted ways earlier this year and Chad Ashton took over in an interim role but it hasn’t been easy. The squad is in 13th place in MLS’s Eastern Conference and are fresh off a 7–0 drubbing at the hands of the Philadelphia Union. The loss was the worst blowout in the team’s history.
