The former striker, who has managed Derby County, DC United, and Birmingham City in the past, spoke about his career as a coach so far.

Asked why he was already back in a job after the debacle at Birmingham, Rooney said: "Because I don't want to be the next Gary Neville!"

When asked how he convinced his wife to make the move, he joked: "I told her it was the Monaco of England!"

He added: "Every person I've met has been really welcoming.

"I've had a chat with quite a few people.

"This is my home now, this is where I'm working and living."
