Kai Rooney might have given away his dad, Wayne’s, next management position after it was spotted he had begun following Birmingham City players on Instagram.

Rooney Snr confirmed he was leaving his post in charge of MLS side DC United and is now planning to move back to England to continue his coaching career.

Announcing the decision in America, Rooney said: ‘I think it’s just the right time. I’ve done everything I can to try and get the club into the playoffs. 

‘It’s not been a single thing which has happened. It’s about timing in your career. I’ve really enjoyed my time here. I’ve had a lot of great help from the owners…I just feel like it’s the right time for me to back to England, first to obviously see my family.’

The 37-year-old has been tipped with taking over at Birmingham with the club’s current manager John Eustace being monitored by a host of Premier League clubs after a strong start to the season.

Mail Sport reported in September that the former England captain was a possible target for Birmingham should Eustace ever leave.

Rooney’s eldest son, Kai, could be giving an indication that the Birmingham dugout is his dad’s next location after following a host of first-team and academy players on social media.

The 13-year-old is currently part of Manchester United’s academy set-up and has been developing as a striker at his dad’s former side who he earned legendary status at.

Rooney is United’s all-time leading goalscorer with 253 goals for the club, with Kai impressing in the club’s youth ranks where he is often deployed as a striker as well.

The teenager’s Instagram profile shows an increase in accounts followed with Birmingham players and the club’s official account being tracked by Kai.

Over 15 accounts of Birmingham players are now being followed and supporters believe this is an indication a change could soon be coming in the Birmingham technical area.

Kai is now following the social media accounts of the Birmingham men’s and women’s team, Gary Gardner, Marc Roberts, Neil Etheridge and other players.

Birmingham supporters have been debating the topic on social media with many believing the online activity is a definitive suggestion Rooney could be on his way to Birmingham, while others argue Kai could be moving from Man United to the Championship side.
