Macclesfield’s John Rooney: ‘I’d be stupid to act like Robbie Savage, I’d be being false’

Macclesfield’s John Rooney: ‘I’d be stupid to act like Robbie Savage, I’d be being false’

John Rooney, the younger brother of Wayne Rooney, has been appointed as the new manager of Macclesfield FC. Macclesfield has a history of notable managers, including Sammy McIlroy, Paul Ince, and Sol Campbell. In recent years, the club has also seen former Premier League players like Neil Danns, Alex Bruce, and Robbie Savage take on the managerial role. John Rooney acknowledges that his surname will not go unnoticed, but he is a less glitzy appointment compared to his predecessor, Robbie Savage, whose effervescent character defined Macclesfield in recent years. Rooney states that he would be "stupid to act like Robbie Savage" and that he would be "being false" if he did so. Instead, he hopes that he will not be needed on the pitch and can focus on his first managerial job.
