It was a sudden and unexpected end to Wayne Rooney's time as Plymouth manager on New Year's Eve. The 39-year-old, who had only been in charge for 25 games, was let go as the Pilgrims' boss. Despite his efforts, the team only managed to secure five wins during his tenure.
Now, many are wondering what's next for the legendary Manchester United and England player. Will he continue his path as a manager, or will he explore other opportunities? One thing is for sure, Rooney won't be out of the football world for long. Broadcasters are already lining up to snag him as a pundit.
This wasn't Rooney's first time taking on the role of a manager. He's previously held positions at Derby County, DC United, and Birmingham City. However, none of these stints resulted in any notable success. It's yet to be seen if he has a future in management, but the media world seems to be welcoming him with open arms.
According to reports, Rooney's punditry work has caught the attention of many television networks, including Sky, ITV, and BBC. He's proven to be a natural in front of the camera, and many are eager to offer him long-term deals. In fact, he's already worked with the BBC on Euro 2024.
But Rooney isn't the only one in the family with potential TV opportunities. His wife, Coleen, has also been in high demand following her appearance on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. It's been reported that she's currently weighing her options while Wayne focuses on their four children.
While Rooney may still have his sights set on a managerial career, it's likely that he'll have to start at a lower level if he takes on another job. In the meantime, he's expressed his gratitude to Plymouth Argyle for the time he spent with them. He thanked the board, staff, players, and fans for their support and promised to continue following the team's progress.
Rooney's coaching staff also received special recognition for their hard work and dedication. He mentioned Kevin Nancekivell, Simon Ireland, Darryl Flahavan, and Mike Phelan, acknowledging their contributions to his time at Plymouth.
Despite his departure, it's clear that Plymouth Argyle will always hold a special place in Rooney's heart. He looks forward to seeing how the team will fare in the future and will continue to support them from afar.
