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 club when they host Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday.
"If I'm not managing the team and I'm part of the coaching staff then I'll continue to play, but if I'm asked to manage the team on a full-time basis then, of course, that will be the end of my playing days, yes." "We discussed it and felt that I was the right man to do that... for the players to also have that clarity of knowing that there's one person in charge is important," Rooney told the Derby website.
