On December 31, Beijing time, the English Championship club Plymouth officially announced that the 39-year-old Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney will no longer serve as the club's head coach. Sadly, Rooney has only been in charge of the team for 7 months.

At the end of May this year, Plymouth officially hired Wayne Rooney as first-team manager. At the time, it was reported that the two sides signed a three-year contract, which turned out to be an absolute losing option. In half a season, Rooney led the team to 23 games, 4 wins, 6 draws and 13 losses, and only accumulated 18 points and ranked first from the bottom of the Championship.

Plymouth have won one of their last nine league games (3 draws, 6 defeats). Wayne Rooney was even beaten 4-0 by the equally controversial Frank Lampard's Coventry City, with Plymouth sacking Rooney.

Since retiring as a coach, Rooney has managed Derby County, D.C. United, Birmingham City and Plymouth, but his team has been dismal. Rooney's last spell in charge was also quite a failure, as he was sacked after less than three months in charge at Birmingham. Although Rooney was a legendary superstar of Manchester United and the team's all-time top scorer when he was a player, as a superstar player, Rooney's coaching ability is indeed not flattering.
