Rooney to part ways with Plymouth
Rooney, 39, leaves the Championship club after seven months, with only five victories to his name.
He joined Plymouth in May on a three-year deal but managed the Green Army for just 25 games.
“Plymouth Argyle can confirm that the club and Head Coach Wayne Rooney have mutually agreed to part ways with immediate effect,” Plymouth said in a statement on Tuesday.
What’s next for Rooney?
The news follows a series of disappointing managerial stints for Rooney at Derby County, D.C. United, and Birmingham City, the latter being relegated to League One after his disastrous 15-game tenure.
Plymouth ends the year bottom of the table, four points from safety, after nine winless games and six defeats.
First-team coach Kevin Nancekivell and club captain Joe Edwards will take temporary charge.
“To the Green Army thanks for making the games at Home Park so special, they are memories that we will share forever,” Rooney said in a statement.
“Plymouth Argyle will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will continue to look out for and take interest in their results.”
