Wayne Rooney was appointed coach on July 12, 2022.
D.C. United and coach Wayne Rooney have agreed to part ways, the club announced Saturday. Here’s what you need to know: Rooney was hired as coach on July 12, 2022 after a two-year stint as manager of Derby County in the English Championship. D.C. United missed the 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs, finishing with a 10-10-14 record and 40 total points. Rooney appeared in 48 matches, scoring 23 goals and 15 assists as a player with D.C. United. Was this a surprise? Not entirely.
United? Rooney’s tenure did not work out well for United, and in a way this is an ideal outcome for the club, timing wise at least. The club is still actively in talks to sign a new general manager and executives at the club would like whomever they hire in that position to have the primary say in who D.C.’s next coach is. With their season officially over, United have a full offseason, down to the day, to lock down two competent candidates.
