Former England boss Steve McClaren is considering an offer to take over as director of football at Rotherham United.

McClaren has been out of the game since resigning as Jamaica coach in November following their failure to secure automatic qualification to this summer’s World Cup.

The 64-year-old has extensive managerial experience but his most recent role in the English game was as assistant to Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.

Although Rotherham will spend next season in League Two following their second relegation in three seasons, McClaren is attracted by the opportunity to work for the ambitious club.

The scope of the role is wide-ranging and McClaren retains plenty of enthusiasm to get back into the game.

There is no agreement in place as yet but McClaren is seriously thinking about taking on the challenge.
