Plymouth Argyle and Rooney part ways with mutual consent after a wretched run of 1 win in fourteen matches.
Plymouth Argyle and Wayne Rooney have “mutually agreed to part ways with immediate effect”, the club have announced.
Argyle are bottom of the Championship after 23 games and most recently lost 2-0 to Oxford and 4-0 to Coventry.
The former Manchester United and England forward said: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the board of Plymouth Argyle Football Club, in particular Simon Hallett and Neil Dewsnip who I shared great relationships with.
“Thanks also to all the staff who made me feel welcome and who make the club such a special place, the players and fans for their efforts and support during my time as Head Coach and I wish them all the best for the future.
“To the Green Army thanks for making the games at Home Park so special, they are memories that we will share forever.”
Simon Ireland, the coach of the first team, and Mike Phelan would also depart, according to Argyle.
