'Doesn't help himself!' - Wayne Rooney told he should have avoided media duties at Plymouth as Man Utd legend is tipped to follow Roy Keane route out of management

<p>Rooney's fourth assignment as a head coach lasted just six months as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wayne-rooney-sacked-plymouth-nine-match-winless-run-man-utd-legend-leaves-pilgrims-rock-bottom-championship/blt4d751c637544f4b0#cs6f36fd093fef42f5" target="_blank">Plymouth Argyle parted company with him</a> on New Year's Eve, ending a sorry spell at the Championship's basement side. Former Manchester United forward Dwight Yorke has analysed what went wrong for the 39-year-old, pointing out one glaring mistake.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.coincasino.com" target="_blank"><em>CoinCasino.com</em></a>, Yorke said: "The Wayne Rooney situation baffles me a bit. I had a great deal of respect for Rooney, I know him well enough. Sometimes, you try your hand at things and it doesn't work out. Similar to players, you try a position and it's not right. I studied Rooney's coaching and I think when you get into management, you question certain things that he did. Everyone has their own way of doing things, I just think when he does things in the media, it doesn't help him because he's such a big profile already.</p><p>"The greatest managers in the Premier League, you don't see them doing media duties, they are fully focused and committed to their jobs. If you're not committed, then you're fighting a losing battle. Maybe Rooney has to put his hands up and say he's not as good as he thought he'd be as a manager, his win rate percentage is alarming. The odds are against him, but it is Rooney so you can never say never."</p>

WHAT DWIGHT YORKE SAID

<p>Yorke also predicted that Rooney is likely to quit football management and take up punditry in the long-term, following in the footsteps of another United legend Roy Keane. He added: "It does look like Wayne Rooney's trajectory is similar to what Roy Keane's was, going from manager to pundit. Rooney's managerial credentials haven't enhanced from his jobs at Birmingham and Plymouth Argyle, but you can't manage three major teams, including DC United, and expect another job without results. Rooney is a great of English football, probably the greatest player ever, and the media will love him. I'm sure he'll bounce back in whatever he wants to continue."</p>

His first assignment will be a workshop entitled "Train with Wayne" in the Middle East.</p>
