Former England<\/a> manager Steve McClaren<\/a> is in talks with Rotherham United<\/a> over a role at the club. Rotherham will play in League Two<\/a> next season after their relegation was confirmed last month.<\/p>\n Lee Clark<\/a> is currently the Millers’ interim manager but awaits to see whether he’ll be offer the job on a full-time basis, having only won one of his eight games in charge. Rotherham will end what’s been a miserable campaign away to Wycombe Wanderers<\/a> on Saturday, but chairman Tony Stewart is already looking to the future.<\/p>\n A report from the Rotherham Advertiser<\/a> says that a meeting between McClaren and Stewart, who he’s good friends with, was scheduled for Tuesday. Although it’s not been ruled out that the 64-year-old could replace Clark as Rotherham’s manager, he could take up a different position such as their sporting director.<\/p>\n McClaren was recently spotted at the New York Stadium to watch Rotherham’s clash with Barnsley<\/a>. His family home is believed to be in North Yorkshire which could make working for Rotherham an attractive prospect.<\/p>\n WORLD CUP LEGENDS: The stars who lit up football’s greatest tournament – Buy the Special Edition today<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n READ MORE: Goalkeeper who PUNCHED opponent slapped with 13-game ban after moment of madness<\/a>READ MORE: Frank Lampard’s Coventry beat Premier League rivals to first signing after promotion<\/a><\/p>\n McClaren resigned as manager of the Jamaican national team<\/a> last year after failing to qualify for this summer’s World Cup. The ex-Manchester United<\/a> assistant boss described his 18-month tenure as ‘one of the greatest honours of his career’.<\/p>\n Aside from his imfamous spell as England manager, McClaren has had spells in charge of Middlesbrough<\/a>, Twente<\/a>, Derby County<\/a>, Newcastle United<\/a> and Queens Park Rangers<\/a>.<\/p>\n If McClaren became Rotherham’s boss, League Two would mark the lowest level that he’s coaches at.

People think eight weeks (the length of the off-season) is a long time.<\/p>\n “But when you’re dealing with all that amount of work, that period goes very quickly.
