Rooney joined DC United in June 2018 and got 23 goals and 15 assists in 48 appearances.
The former England, Manchester United and Everton striker has wasted no time getting back into the game, although he will have to wait for completion of a visa application to formally take up his new role back in Washington, where he enjoyed a two-year playing spell.
“Interim head coach Chad Ashton will remain in charge of the team until Wayne Rooney has received his work visa.” “Wayne is a soccer legend and one of the most exciting and dynamic up-and-coming managers in our sport,” DC United co-chairmen Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan said in a statement. “He has an understanding of our league and what it takes to be successful in Major League Soccer thanks to his two-year stay with us as a player.
