Happy New Year, Rooney! Oh, and by the way, you're fired

Legendary Man United forward got sacked by Plymouth Argyle and will await the New Year unemployed

Instead of receiving New Year gifts, Wayne Rooney got fired! Until earlier today, the popular Wazza was the head coach of the Championship side Plymouth Argyle. However, after only one win in 14 matches since he joined the club, the Pilgrims are at the bottom of the table with only 18 points.

Rooney's crew has lost six of the last seven games, and the 2-0 loss to direct relegation rivals Oxford United two days ago was the last straw for Plymouth's management. Although sources claim that the club and the tactician mutually agreed to part ways, it's clear that his poor results cost him the job.

This way, another 39-year-old's attempt to establish himself as a respectable manager failed, as he was relegated with Derby County, failed to qualify for the MLS play-offs with D.C. United, and left Birmingham in 20th place, although the Blues were sixth when Rooney took over the job less than three months before.

Plymouth were the fourth club the legendary forward led in his four-year-long managerial career, and now it's questionable whether another side would be willing to risk appointing him, as his achievements so far do not make for a strong recommendation.
