London: Former England legend Wayne Rooney's coaching career looks to be in ruins after he was sacked by Plymouth Argyle on Tuesday.
Rooney leaves the club after only seven months of the three-year contract that he signed in the summer, and with Plymouth bottom of the division, with just 18 points from 23 matches.
It has lost six of its last nine matches and has the worst defensive record in the division, conceding 51 goals, while scoring just 22.
Plymouth announced Rooney's departure on social media, saying club and coach had "mutually agreed to part ways with immediate effect."
Rooney thanked Plymouth for giving him the chance to manage them and said the club would always "have a special place" in his heart.
