Glenn Hoddle believes Wayne Rooney has made an error by ending his playing career midway through the season to become the manager of Derby on a permanent basis.
The 35-year-old announced on Friday he was ending his 19-year career on the pitch to take charge of the Rams until the summer of 2023 after signing a two-and-a-half-year deal with the side currently sat in the Championship relegation zone.
But in order to focus solely on his new role - which came following an interim period after Phillip Cocu was sacked - he decided to hang up his boots, having become the record goalscorer for both Manchester United and England during his career.
