HEAD coach Wayne Rooney left Plymouth today after seven months in the role, with the club rock-bottom of the Championship.

The 39-year-old arrived at Home Park in May, marking his return to management following previous spells in charge of Birmingham and Derby either side of a stint at Major League Soccer side DC United.

Rooney’s Pilgrims managed just four wins from 23 league games, the most recent of which was a 1-0 victory over fellow strugglers Portsmouth on November 5.
