England legend Wayne Rooney (39), who was scheduled to work as a BBC Euro 2024 pundit, will be taking on a fourth team.

“Rooney has left the BBC Euro 2024 punditry to take up a new job as manager of Plymouth Argyle FC,” the UK’s Mirror reported on Sunday (June 27). “He was initially set to join the BBC commentary team during Euro 2024 but his plans changed when he took over as Plymouth manager.”

Plymouth are an English Football League (EFL) Championship (Second Division) club. Promoted to the EFL League One (third tier) in the 2022-2023 season, Plymouth finished 21st out of 24 teams in the league last season, narrowly avoiding relegation.

Rooney left Germany, where the tournament is being held, after the final group game between Belgium and Ukraine, 카지노사이트 which ended in a 0-0 draw earlier in the day, and will return to England to begin Plymouth’s pre-season preparations.

“He would have liked to stay longer but he has work commitments, so this is his last time here,” said manager Gary Lineker, adding that Rooney will “fly home and head straight to Plymouth as the team return on July 3.”

Plymouth will be Rooney’s fourth club.

He previously played for Derby County, D.C. United, and Birmingham City. Despite being hailed as England’s best striker at Everton and Manchester United, Rooney has yet to be recognized as a leader.

In particular, Rooney was blamed for Birmingham’s relegation to the third tier last season. After taking over for John Eustace, who was abruptly sacked mid-season, Rooney managed just two wins, four draws, and nine losses in 15 games, leading Birmingham from sixth to 20th place.

Ultimately, Rooney was sacked in early January, having lasted less than a season, and Birmingham slumped to 22nd place and faced relegation. Baek Seung-ho joined Birmingham from Jeonbuk Hyundai in late January after Rooney’s dismissal.

“He didn’t do well at Birmingham, but Sir Alex Ferguson was sacked at St. Mirren,” Plymouth director of football Neil Deucesnip said of Rooney. “He went through a tough time, but he did well at Derby against the odds and DC United almost made the playoffs. Knowing the kind of person he is, I’m sure he learned a lot from that. He will use that as an incredible motivation,” he said.

“Rooney was one of the first people we approached when we were looking for a manager,” says Dusnip, who also coached Rooney at Everton. “We had about 80 people interested, and we narrowed it down to four. “Eighty people were interested and we narrowed it down to four, and he was one of them, and he deserved it – there was no favoritism. 실시간 바카라사이트 He had made a very good impression as a TV pundit, but he was very keen to get back into it,” explains the selection.

With Rooney in charge, Plymouth open their season against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on August 12th.
