Rooney recently expressed his desire to manage Manchester United or Everton in the future.
"Managing Manchester United or Everton is the aim, these big jobs are where you want to get to," said Rooney, who most recently managed Birmingham City.
"But it's a process. I have got to go through the steps and get myself back on track."
