The former Manchester United and England forward has coached Derby County, DC United, and Birmingham City.
Rooney struggled to an extent at all those jobs, losing his position at Birmingham midway through last season.
It was strange leaving Birmingham City. From the age of nine, when I joined Everton, until then, it was the first time I'd had a break like that," Rooney said on The Overlap.
I left Derby, and it was a week later that I went off to DC United, and after DC United, it was 24hrs later that I went to Birmingham, so now is the first time I've had off.
You reflect a lot; you think of things you could have done differently or things you could do better you overthink. I've never been one who blames people, I wouldn't look at other people and blame them.
I think the (Birmingham City) owners are fantastic, and they'll do well in the future, but it's football and when you go into a job, especially now as a manager, you can get sacked.
We've seen it many times, it's part of the job and it can happen, but what's important is how you bounce back from that."
