"If that wasn't my ambition I'd be in the wrong role, but hopefully I can push Macclesfield on to where we think we can get to. We've got a long journey ahead of us here and it's a club going in the right direction. I want to manage as high as possible and hopefully that can be with this club."
"Did I think it would happen this fast? Probably not but once the opportunity did come I wanted to grab it with both hands because you never know what's around the corner or when a job is going to become available."
"I'm brand new into the management scene and I have ambitions to manage as high as I can,"
John Rooney aims to manage at the highest possible level while progressing with Macclesfield. He took over as manager in the summer after replacing Robbie Savage, having been part of the squad that won the Northern Premier League title the previous season. Rooney led Macclesfield to a shock FA Cup third-round victory over Crystal Palace and will host Brentford in the next round. He describes himself as new to management but ambitious, having seized the opportunity quickly. Rooney emphasizes a long-term plan to push Macclesfield up the football pyramid and keep the club moving in the right direction.
