SunSport revealed yesterday that Rooney had netted an £800,000 deal to appear as a Match of the Day pundit.
As part of his Beeb duties, the Manchester United legend will also work for the Corporation at next summer’s World Cup.
The initial two-year deal possesses an option for a further two-year extension, which would take his fee up to £800k.
This move appears to signal the end of Rooney’s managerial career, at least for now.
The popular star was sacked by Plymouth Argyle last December, following previous stints with Derby, DC United and Birmingham City.
Rooney joins a Match of the Day shake-up that sees Gabby Logan, Kelly Cates and Mark Chapman replace Gary Lineker as hosts on a rotating basis following the former BBC star’s exit following 26 years in the role.
Coleen, meanwhile, netted a reported £10million deal with Disney
The deal will see Wayne and Coleen appear in a documentary alongside their four sons.

The couple were treated to a battling Djokovic comeback on Centre Court.
The Serbian, 38, recovered from a poor start to beat De Minaur 1-6 6-4 6-4 6-4.
Also in attendance was the Serbian’s former rival Roger Federer, watching from the Royal Box.
Speaking on court after his win, Djokovic joked of Federer: “I mean this is probably the first time he is watching me where I have won the match!
“The last couple of times I lost, so it’s good to break the curse. It is obviously great to have Roger here.
“He is a huge champion and someone I admired and respected a lot. We shared the stage for many years and it is great to have him back at his most successful and favourite tournament, no doubt.”
