Rooney has since managed DC United and Birmingham and was named Plymouth boss in May.
The former Manchester United and England striker joined the Rams in January 2020 as player-coach and ended the year in temporary charge when Phillip Cocu was sacked in November 2020.
Derby went into administration at the start of the 21-22 season and were relegated from the Sky Bet Championship despite the then 36-year-old leading a spirited fight against the drop after having 21 points deducted throughout the season.Following Derby’s relegation, Rooney informed the club that he wanted to leave the club as Derby began to prepare for life in League One.
