Man Utd legend Wayne Rooney was hired as manager of Plymouth Argyle after answering one strange non-football question.
tenure as Plymouth Argyle got off to a poor start on Sunday, as Sheffield Wednesday beat Plymouth Argyle 4-0.And the strange question that Rooney was asked that led to him getting the job has now been revealed., Plymouth director of football Neil Dewsnip explained the question that led to the appointment.
He said: “This is a coup — it isn’t a gamble. We have done our research and Wayne was selected after a thorough process as the best candidate.“He was asked during his interview in May about relationships and dealing with staff. The chairman asked him what members of staff he knew at Derby outside the football set-up, and straightaway he told him the name of a groundsman and the laundry lady.
But Dewsnip is confident that Rooney can get the best out of the Plymouth Argyle squad, who escaped relegation to League One last season by just one point having been promoted the season before.“The squad have taken to him incredibly well. They obviously respect him for what he was as a player, one of the best three of his generation — you don’t need me to say the names of the other two," added Dewsnip.
“But respect has to be earned as a coach and his way of doing that is to show his great personal qualities. He is an excellent communicator, brilliant in one-to-one situations. I don’t think he’s realised yet how powerful he is with his words.”
