Wayne Rooney: Man United legend departs as Plymouth boss
Wayne Rooney has departed as manager of second-tier Plymouth Argyle after after agreeing to mutually parts ways with the club after 25 games.
Rooney, the Manchester United and England legend, had been hoping to kickstart his non-playing career in his fourth role in management but departs after seven months at the Championship club, with just five victories to his name.
Plymouth, bottom of the table, confirmed his departure on Tuesday.
The news follows disappointing spells for Rooney at Derby County, D.C. United and Birmingham City, who were relegated to League One following Rooney’s disastrous 15-game run.
Plymouth, having finished a place above Birmingham last year, will now hope to avoid the same fate.
