Wayne Rooney has departed as manager of second-tier Plymouth Argyle after agreeing to mutually parts ways with the club after 25 games.

Rooney, the Derby County, D.C. United and Birmingham City, who were relegated to League One following Rooney’s disastrous 15-game run.

Plymouth, having finished a place above Birmingham last year, will now hope to avoid the same fate.

“To the Green Army thanks for making the games at Home Park so special, they are memories that 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 look out for and take interest in their results.”
