What is Rooney at now
Rooney is now the manager of Championship club Derby County, where he was previously an interim player-manager.
Rooney is trying to save Derby county from relegation after the club were handed a points deduction at the start of the season after entering administration, which saw them start the season 12 points behind the competition.
They were then handed a further nine point deduction, for breaching the ELF's Profitability and Sustainability rules.
Rooney's Derby have now moved off of the bottom of the Championship table, on 15 points, and would hypothetically be in 16th place had they not had a deduction.
