Wayne Rooney hopes he can guide Plymouth Argyle 'closer to the Premier League'.
Wayne Rooney was in jovial mood as he met the press for the first time as Plymouth Argyle head coachThe Pilgrims finished one point above the drop zone last season."I’m not going to come out and say we’re going to be looking to get to the Premier League in a year’s time, we need to be realistic.
Rooney endured a difficult time at Birmingham City, and also had a relatively unspectacular spell in charge of Major League Soccer's DC United. Having sacked head coach Ian Foster at the start of April they were under the caretaker guidance of director of football Neil Dewsnip and coach Kevin Nancekivell.
"So it was really important I went in somewhere and got the pre-season to start, and I was delighted that was the case here at Argyle. "I think my teams have always been very well organised but we play good football and team football. Of course you want to score goals, that's what everyone wants to see, and my style of play and how we play is all aimed to do that.
