WAYNE ROONEY is returning to England and his family, where he will live in a £20 million “Morrisons mansion” complete with a full-size football pitch, two fishing lakes, a theatre, and a pool.
The former Manchester United and England manager has been named the new manager of Birmingham City, succeeding the sacked John Eustace at St Andrews.
Wayne, Coleen, and the rest of the Rooney family moved into their dream home in 2021

He will be joined at Brum by Arsenal and Chelsea icon Ashley Cole and former United team-mate John O’Shea who will be working alongside him as coaches.
Rooney left MLS side DC United at the weekend after they failed to make the play-offs.
He had been living with his cоaching staff in Washingtоn while his wife Cоleen and their fоur sоns, Kai, Klay, Kit, and Cass remained in England.

Rooney then retired from playing to take over as manager when the Rams were rock bottom of the table.
After being announced as manager, Rooney said: “I am absolutely delighted to be joining Birmingham City football club at such an exciting time.
“It is very clear that they have a plan and are committed to realising their ambition for the club. We are fully aligned on what is expected.
“I have been building my managerial career, putting myself in challenging environments, to get me ready for this opportunity.
“It’s a project that gives me a sense of purpose and I can’t wait to get started.”
