Wayne Rooney lands new job after Plymouth Argyle sacking
Wayne Rooney has landed a new job after leaving his role as manager of Plymouth Argyle. The former Manchester United and England star parted ways with the club after a disastrous run of form that left the Greens at the foot of the Championship table.
The 39-year-old returned just five wins during his 25 game tenure in charge of Argyle. He has since expressed his desire to return to management but his latest role will be on our TV screens.
Rooney is set to be part of the line-up of pundits on Amazon Prime for the Champions League coverage tomorrow night (Tuesday, February 11). He will offer his insight before and after Manchester City's huge clash with European giants Real Madrid.
