Wayne Rooney<\/a> is in talks with the BBC<\/a> over a pundit role on Match of the Day<\/a>, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The former Manchester United and England captain is out of management once again after he was dismissed by Championship side Plymouth Argyle in December<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rooney took his fourth job in management at Plymouth\u00a0back in May<\/a> following previous spells with Derby County, DC United and Birmingham City.<\/p>\n

However, Rooney was sacked after just seven months following a run of just one win in 14 games.<\/p>\n

According to The Sun<\/a>, Rooney is now in negotiations with the BBC over a rotating guest pundit role on Match of the Day.<\/p>\n

The report claims that the job could earn Rooney up to \u00a3200,000 a year, depending on how many appearances he makes.<\/p>\n

‘Punditry is one of a number of options open to Wayne for the future,’ a source told the newspaper.<\/p>\n

‘He worked alongside Gary and co at the Euros last summer<\/a>, and was a huge hit with viewers.<\/p>\n

‘He\u2019s also eminently likeable with a forensic knowledge and love of the game.<\/p>\n

‘Match of the Day and a couple of other broadcasters are interested in having him on their programming.<\/p>\n

‘Wayne and the BBC are in early stage negotiations but it is looking promising and he is taking some time to work out exactly what he wants to do next.’<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the BBC announced that Match of the Day will be presented by Kelly Cates, Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan<\/a> from next season following Gary Lineker’s exit.<\/p>\n

Lineker is stepping down this summer after 26 years in the role<\/a>, but will continue to present FA Cup games and be involved in the BBC\u2019s coverage of the\u00a02026 World Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n
