      Wayne Rooney ready to fill new house husband role as Coleen chooses between clutch of lucrative TV offers

      by

      WAYNE Rooney yesterday bagged a new role for 2025 as house husband — after leaving his manager’s job at Plymouth.His exit comes as wife Coleen plans a TV career after her successful stint on I’m A Celebrity.Wayne Rooney has left his manager’s job at Plymouth ArgyleCredit: RexMeanwhile, wife Coleen is ­mulling over a clutch of ‘very attractive’ telly offersCredit: RexColeen is ­mulling over a clutch of “very attractive” telly offers while hubby Wayne prepares to take over the reins at home, sources said last night.The couple are preparing for a sudden reversal of roles after Wayne, 39, left the ­manager’s seat at struggling Plymouth Argyle yesterday.The former England and Manchester United striker will return home to their four children – ­leaving Coleen, 38, to focus on her flourishing TV career in the wake of her star turn on I’m A Celebrity.The Sun understands she is weighing up “four or five” TV deals which could see her sitting ­alongside the likes of screen stars Holly ­Willoughby, Lorraine Kelly and Cat Deeley.READ MORE ON WAYNE ROONEYColeen, who finished second on I’m A Celeb, said after leaving the jungle that she was looking forward to seeing her boys and Wayne before considering her next move.But sources insisted last night it was now “her time to shine” after Championship outfit Plymouth Argyle announced that Wayne had left by mutual consent following a dismal run of form.A source said: “Coleen is sad that Wayne has lost his job because she knows how much work he put into it and how much he loves being a football manager.“But every cloud has a silver ­lining and it means that he will be back home with her and the boys and will give her more confidence that she can grab hold of whatever opportunities come her way.Most read in Football“Since leaving Australia she has tried to focus on her kids as it was very hard to be away from them for so long.“But she is aware there is huge interest in her and offers from TV companies and shows have been flooding in. There are four or five very attractive offers already on the table.Wayne Rooney hits out at speculation he took mystery woman back to his flat and says ‘it’s simply not true’“Wayne being back home will allow her to give them her full consideration.“Wayne’s football career has always taken precedence and rightly so given how successful he’s been. But it seems like it’s now Coleen’s time to shine. She’s supported him for the past 20 years so now it might be his time to play second fiddle to Coleen.”Coleen — who lives in the North West with sons Kai, 15, Klay, 11, Kit, eight and Cass, six — told last month how she had previously turned down TV offers because she had “a lot going on”.She said of her decision to do I’m A Celebrity: “I was ready to go in. My kids are that little bit older and I felt like I could leave them and be at ease. And also, within myself, I have had a lot going on in the past and I haven’t felt ready. Whereas I thought, ‘You know what, give it a go’. I love the show and it was a challenge. I don’t regret anything.”Meanwhile her husband — who enjoyed a glittering playing career before embarking on management — has been struggling at the other end of the country at Plymouth.The team has not won since November 5, enduring several heavy defeats, before losing 2-0 to relegation rivals Oxford United on Sunday.The club said yesterday: “Plymouth Argyle can confirm that the club and Head Coach Wayne Rooney have mutually agreed to part ways with immediate effect.“We would like to thank Wayne and his team for all their efforts and wish them well for the future.”It came less than 24 hours after Wayne angrily hit out at allegations he had taken a mystery woman back to his rented flat.He explained that she and a male friend had innocently given him a lift.Wayne said: “I am aware of a video circulating online. The video shows a man and woman looking around my apartment. The couple kindly gave me a lift home and were in there at the same time as my son who was visiting.”Coleen, who was pictured with her children watching Manchester United at Old Trafford on Monday night, was said to be “unconcerned” by the video.Coleen will focus on her flourishing TV career in the wake of her star turn on I’m A CelebCredit: RexRooney burst on to the scene as a 16-year-old at Everton before moving to Manchester United, where he became the club’s all-time top scorer, with 253 goals.He landed a string of trophies during his time at Old Trafford, including five Premier League titles and the Champions League. He also won 120 caps for England and scored 53 goals.After a spell in the States with DC United, Rooney joined Derby County as a player in January 2020, before being appointed manager 12 months later.Derby were relegated from the Championship at the end of the following season, but had been in administration and suffered a 21-point deduction. He quit the club in June 2022.Rooney then went back across the Atlantic to the MLS with DC United the following month, winning his first game in charge.But his side picked up just nine points from their last 14 games and they mutually parted ways at the end of the season.The former England captain then joined Birmingham City in October 2023 with the club in sixth place in the Championship.But he lost his job in January last year after losing nine of 15 games and spent time out of football before Plymouth Argyle came calling in May.Rooney’s Argyle side were struggling in the Championship when he was axedCredit: GettyNow unemployed, Wayne is ready to be a house husband and care for his four boysCredit: Coleen Rooney/InstagramColeen was pictured with her children watching Manchester United at Old Trafford on Monday nightCredit: InstagramHE’S EX MANAGER OF MONTHOUTGOING Plymouth boss Wayne Rooney appears as the January star of the club’s 2025 calendar.One fan posted online: “This is awkward.”Another joked: “They put him in January and he didn’t even survive that long!”A tale of two RooneysWAYNE and Coleen Rooney have been together for more than 20 years.Here we look at the paths their lives have taken.Wayne made his pro debut for Everton at 16Credit: News Group Newspapers LtdColeen released fitness DVD Coleen McLoughlin’s Brand New Body in 20052002: Wayne makes pro debut for Everton at 16.Later becomes Premier League’s then-youngest goalscorer.Clothing shop worker Coleen starts dating Wayne aged 16.2003: Wayne becomes England’s youngest scorer against Macedonia, four months after debut at 17 against Australia.Coleen accepts Wayne’s garage forecourt proposal before landing a small role in soap Hollyoaks.2004 to 2006: Wayne stars at the Euros before a £30million move to Manchester United.Coleen releases fitness DVD Coleen McLoughlin’s Brand New Body in 2005.Appears on Tonight with Trevor McDonald about sister Rosie’s Rett syndrome in 2006.2007 to 2010: Wayne wins first Premier League title in 2007 and first Champions League trophy in 2008.Coleen releases series of books, ITV series Coleen’s Real Women, and fronts campaigns for Asda and Littlewoods.Couple wed in 2008.First son Kai born in 2009.2010 to 2018: Wayne breaks Sir Bobby Charlton’s goalscoring records for England and Man United.Re-signs for Everton in 2017 then joins MLS side D.C.
