Championship club Plymouth Argyle appoint former England striker Wayne Rooney as their new head coach.
Blues, who were in the Championship play-off places when Rooney took over, were relegated to League One earlier this month.
First-team coaches Kevin Nancekivell and Simon Ireland, and goalkeeping coach Daryl Flahavan will form part of Rooney’s backroom staff, with further additions to be made in due course.Wayne Rooney has been working as a pundit since leaving Birmingham City and will work for the BBC at Euro 2024"Taking this role at Plymouth Argyle feels like the perfect next step in my career – and I would like to thank the chairman and board for the faith they have shown in me," Rooney said.
"The club is on an exciting long-term journey, with a progressive plan in place. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of it." "So much so, that he reached out to the board when we started this process and was attracted by the project at hand and showed a real plan on how to lead the football club forward.
He will also be at a club that can sign players - Derby's financial situation was such that Rooney had one hand tied behind his back in terms of transfers, while he left Birmingham before he was able to operate in the January transfer window. But it represents a real roll of the dice for the Pilgrims. While his pedigree as a player is undoubted, as a manager he has yet to hit the same heights that saw him win five Premier League titles, the Champions League and 120 England caps.
