[Saba Sports News] The English Championship resumed
last weekend, and Wayne Rooney, the renowned English football legend, made his
coaching return in the Championship. In his debut match, Rooney led Birmingham
against Middlesbrough. However, his first game did not go as planned, as
Birmingham suffered a 0-1 defeat against Middlesbrough. It is notable that
Rooney and Middlesbrough coach Michael Carrick were former teammates at
Manchester United, and they have a strong familiarity with each other. Both
Rooney and Carrick ventured into coaching after retiring as players. Rooney had
previously coached Derby County in the British Championship and Washington in
the Major League, while Carrick served as a temporary coach at Manchester
United before officially becoming the coach of Middlesbrough last year.
