(Reuters) - Derby County's Wayne Rooney is prepared to call time on his playing career if asked to fill the position of manager left vacant following Phillip Cocu's sacking, the former England captain said on Friday.
Player-coach Rooney has been assisted by Liam Rosenior, Shay Given and Justin Walker following Dutchman Cocu's departure this month and will take sole charge of the Championship (second-tier) club when they host Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday.
