Plymouth Argyle have reportedly relieved Wayne Rooney of his managerial duties at the club after leaving them bottom of the EFL Championship table.
Only seven months into his time on the south coast, the Pilgrims and the Manchester United icon have “mutually agreed” to part ways after a terrible run of results.
Rooney was given a three-year contract as the new manager before the 2024–2025 season began. But with only four victories and 18 points so far, Plymouth are now seriously concerned about relegation.
The team will have a lot of work to do in 2025 to keep from being relegated at the end of the current campaign. Since defeating fellow relegation contender Portmouth 1-0 on November 5th, Argyle have not won any game. They have only gained three points and let up 26 goals in nine matches since then.

“First team coach Kevin Nancekivell and Club Captain Joe Edwards will lead the team for our Sky Bet Championship match against Bristol City on New Year’s Day.
“Daryl Flahavan will continue as Goalkeeping coach. We would like to thank Wayne and his team for all their efforts and wish them well for the future.”
