The 39-year-old has been back in punditry after being sacked by Argyle late last year. And this week, the former England international and his wife, Coleen, celebrated the launch of his new podcast, ‘The Wayne Rooney Show’, at a special BBC event.

He wrote onInstagram: “Great event last night celebrating the start of a new football season with @bbcsport and the launch of my new podcast, The Wayne Rooney Show! Episode 1 is out now, available on @bbciplayer, @bbcsport YouTube, and @bbcsounds.”

The former man is taking a break from management after two disastrous spells at Plymouth andBirmingham City. The ex-striker has proven that not all great players make great managers, and now Rooney is deciding to go down the punditry route for the foreseeable future.

After hitting back at minority owner Tom Brady in the first episode of his new show, following the icon’s critique of his “work ethic” at the West Midlands club, more fireworks could happen in Rooney’s podcast next week.
