The DC United this week announced that Wayne Rooney will be the new head coach.
Wayne who is no stranger to DC, is making a comeback to DC after spending a year-and-a-half leading Derby County in the English Championship. He is also Manchester United’s all-time leading scorer. Wayne will be replacing former head coach Hernan Losada who parted ways with the team this past April.
Wayne is a soccer legend and one of the most exciting and dynamic up-and-coming managers in our sport. He’s already proven in his young coaching career that he knows how to lead a group through adversity. He has an understanding of our league and what it takes to be successful in Major League Soccer thanks to his two-year stay with us as a player. The passion he showed while wearing Black-and-Red electrified our city and our club and we are so excited to welcome him back as our head coach.
