Former England boss Steve McClaren is considering a return to English football with the director of football role at Rotherham United. The 64-year-old has been out of work since resigning as Jamaica coach in November following their failure to secure automatic World Cup qualification. Despite his hiatus, McClaren maintains enthusiasm for applying his vast experience to a new challenge.

McClaren's most recent English position came as assistant to Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, where his extensive managerial career included stints with England, Middlesbrough, and Wolfsburg. Rotherham faces League Two next season after their second relegation in three years, but McClaren is reportedly attracted to the club's ambitious project and potential to rebuild from the lower leagues.

The technical director role at Rotherham carries wide-ranging responsibilities across the club's football operations. While no agreement is in place, McClaren is seriously contemplating the challenge. His potential appointment would bring significant Premier League pedigree to a club rebuilding in League Two after a difficult period.
