Wayne Rooney has been appointed the new manager of Plymouth Argyle.
Rooney’s last managerial job led him to being sacked by Birmingham in January after just 83 days in charge.
The 38-year-old said: “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.
“This is an opportunity to be part of an exciting project. I look forward to helping to build a squad of players to play expansive football – and to entertain the Green Army.
“I have experienced first-hand how talented the existing group of players is here – and also the incredible atmosphere at Home Park. 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.
Plymouth stayed in the Sky Bet Championship on the last day of the 2023/24 season by winning 1-0 against Hull City at Home Park. They ended up in 21st place, just one point ahead of Birmingham, who were relegated.
