NFL legend and one of the British Championship Birmingham City owners Tom Brady questioned Rooney's work ethics as a coach in a documentary about the club, and criticized the players on the team for being lazy and self-righteous.
Rooney coached Birmingham City from October 2023 to January 2024, but was fired after only 83 days of coaching.
Rooney expressed great disappointment with Brady's remarks in the BBC's latest podcast, believing that such an evaluation was very unfair: "I think he only came to the club once, and it was the day before the game. The training that day was easier, and I don't think he knew football very well."
"We all know that Brady is a very hardworking person, but football is different from the NFL. NFL players only need to work for three months a year, and players also need to rest. , so I think it's unfair to say that. When I first joined Birmingham City, the team was really a mess, the players were not the players who could lead the club forward, and the coaches who took over the team had a hard time after me. "
"I have a lot of respect for Brady, he is one of the greatest athletes of all time, and maybe even the greatest. Birmingham City looks really good now, but I think all they do is get the players who need to leave."
