Wayne Rooney has landed a new job following his Plymouth dismissal last year.

Rooney returned to football management after being appointed Plymouth manager last May.

But he endured a nightmare spell at Home Park, winning just four league games in 23 Championship matches.

He was relieved of his duties last December.

After a few months away from football, Rooney is set to return to our screens this week.

Amazon Prime have confirmed the 39-year-old will form part of their punditry panel for the blockbuster Champions League clash between Manchester City and Real Madrid.

On their social channels, Prime wrote: "The England & Man Utd legend will make his Prime debut on Man City v Real Madrid, LIVE on Tuesday from 6.30pm!"

Rooney has previously worked as a pundit for multiple different broadcasters, including featuring on BBC's Match of the Day.

He has also featured for Sky Sports and TNT Sports as a pundit.

A Prime debut is on the cards as the Manchester United icon will provide expert analysis for Man City vs. Real Madrid.

Amazon are reportedly keen to add Rooney to their regular rotation of pundits for the Champions League.

They already boast the likes of Alan Shearer and Daniel Sturridge while Frank Lampard featured on their coverage, too, before becoming Coventry City manager.

Amazon show the top Tuesday tie each week of the competition as they share broadcasting rights with TNT Sports.

Punditry, however, could be a short-term gig for Rooney, who admits he wants to return to management following his spell with Plymouth.

On the Stick to Football podcast - brought to you by Sky Bet, he said: "I would like to go back in [to management]. But it would have to be the right club.

"I'm not in a massive rush to go back in. There's different things that I'm looking at to try and get involved with... unless something was absolutely the right thing to do.

"Every club I've been at, I've put myself in a really challenging situation.

"I've had some great experiences, good ones, bad ones (and) you've always got that to fall back on."
