Wayne Rooney poised to return to dugout as Plymouth manager
Former England captain set to revive managerial careerRooney had productive talks with Argyle’s director of football
Wayne Rooney’s appointment as Plymouth’s head coach is expected to be rubber-stamped in the next 24 hours, with the former England captain set to sign a three-year contract. Rooney is determined to repair his managerial reputation after a disastrous spell in charge of Birmingham, who were relegated to League One earlier this month.
The 38-year-old is poised to return in the Championship with Plymouth after holding productive talks with Neil Dewsnip, the club’s director of football with whom Rooney had a good relationship with from their time at Everton. Dewsnip, who ended the season in caretaker charge of the Devon club, coached in Everton’s academy before a teenage Rooney burst into the first team.
