Wayne Rooney leaves Plymouth Argyle with side bottom of Championship
Manager Wayne Rooney has left Championship side Plymouth Argyle by mutual consent.
The 39-year-old former England captain has managed just four league wins and 13 defeats in 23 Championship games since taking charge of the Pilgrims in May.
He left the division headquarters with them.
Rooney arrived at the home stadium four months after being sacked by Birmingham City after 83 days in charge, nine losses in 15 games.
He and his players were booed after Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Oxford United, their sixth defeat in nine games without a win since early November.
Rooney defiantly said he didn’t take criticism “personally” after that defeat, but it was enough to end the tenure of Rooney, who was hailed as “the perfect candidate to deliver an exciting and attacking brand of football” when he was appointed people”.
Rooney set goalscoring records for England and Manchester United during his illustrious career, with Plymouth falling to the bottom of the table, joint-fewest goals in the second tier and sitting four tier above England’s top four More than any other club in the league. .
