Wayne Rooney has been appointed the new head coach of Plymouth Argyle.
Wayne Rooney says his appointment as the new head coach at Plymouth Argyle is the 'perfect next step' in his career. England's second-highest goalscorer was sacked by Birmingham in January after just 83 days in charge. Rooney has also managed at Derby County and DC United and now takes the fourth role of his managerial career at Sky Bet Championship side Plymouth.
Argyle were looking for a new boss after the dismissal of Ian Foster towards the end of last season. Director of football Neil Dewsnip and coach Kevin Nancekivell took charge on an interim basis for the remainder of the campaign and guided Plymouth to safety. Dewsnip knows Rooney from his time as a coach at Everton's academy. Plymouth said a 'number of highly experienced managers and head coaches were interviewed' but Rooney stood out as the 'right candidate'.
