Former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney exits as DC United coach after playoff hopes end.

Wayne Rooney has left his role as DC United head coach after the team was eliminated from MLS playoff contention on Saturday.

DC United defeated New York City FC 2-0 at home on in its final game of the regular season but results elsewhere meant it can no longer finish in the top nine places in the Eastern Conference to qualify for the postseason.

Immediately following the game, the team said it had mutually agreed to part ways with Rooney.
