Sky Sports call, imminent role, England theory - Wayne Rooney next job decided after brutal sacking

Wayne Rooney is now out of work four clubs into his managerial career after the Manchester United legend was given the sack by Plymouth Argyle on Tuesday.

Rooney leaves the Pilgrims bottom of the Championship table with 18 points from 23 games and four points from safety. He is now on the lookout for another job having been sacked from Plymouth and Birmingham City in his last couple of positions in football.

United's record goalscorer started his managerial career at Derby County in 2021 before moving to D.C. United in the United States of America the following year. He then swapped the States for Birmingham but was sacked there almost a year ago, with Blues ending that season in the relegation zone.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank the board of Plymouth, in particular Simon Hallett and Neil Dewsnip who I shared great relationships with," Rooney said.

"Thanks also to all the staff who made me feel welcome and who make the club such a special place, the players and fans for their efforts and support during my time as head coach and I wish them all the best for the future.

"To the Green Army thanks for making the games at Home Park so special, they are memories that we will share forever. I would also like to give a special mention to my coaching staff Kevin Nancekivell, Simon Ireland, Darryl Flahavan and Mike Phelan for their knowledge, dedication, help and support.

"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."

So what next for Rooney? MEN Sport's writers have had their say on where Rooney goes from here...

It's simply not happening in the dugout for the United hero.
