Wayne Rooney has resigned as manager of second division club Plymouth Argyle after agreeing to part ways with the club by mutual consent after 25 games.
Rooney, the Manchester United and England legend, had hoped to kick-start his non-playing career in his fourth managerial position, but leaves after seven months at the Championship club with just five wins to his name.
“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.
The news follows Rooney's disappointing performances at Derby County, DC United and Birmingham City, who were relegated to League One following Rooney's disastrous 15-game run.
Plymouth, who finished one place ahead of Birmingham last year, are now hoping to avoid the same fate.
“Many thanks to the Green Army for making the games at Home Park so special. They are memories 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 pay attention and interest in their results.”
