The Manchester United legend lasted just seven months in the job and departed with Plymouth rooted to the bottom of the Championship table and on a run of nine matches without a win.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/brutal-sitting-marbella-barb-aimed-at-wayne-rooney-after-plymouth-sacking-man-utd-legend-accused-not-being-committed-lifestyle-modern-day-manager/bltc28a38e035f5b956" target="_blank">Rooney has come in for plenty of criticism</a> for his time in charge of Plymouth and his future is currently uncertain. The 39-year-old has struggled in impress during managerial stints in England with Derby, Birmingham and now Plymouth and also left MLS side D.C. United after just 15 months at the helm. Rooney has now been told he may have to head abroad again if he wants to continue coaching by former United striker Teddy Sheringham.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>He told <a href="https://www.boylesports.com/sports/football/competition/england-premier-league" target="_blank">Boyle Sports</a>: "With Wayne Rooney leaving Plymouth, it does make you wonder what he does from here. I went into management in League Two and if that goes badly, where do you go from there? No one will take a chance in the division above if it didn’t go well in a lower tier. For Rooney it’s tough and it will be interesting to see how will employ him after he struggled in the Championship. But I’m sure he will persevere, he wants to be a successful manager and may have to leave the country to get a new experience and learn his trade."</p>

WHAT SHERINGHAM SAID

<p>Fans will have to wait and see what Rooney does next and whether he's interested in another move abroad. The 39-year-old has plenty of family commitments as he shares four sons with wife <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wayne-rooney-play-second-fiddle-to-wife-coleen-after-plymouth-sacking-i-m-a-celebrity-runner-up-mulls-attractive-tv-offers/bltb9a663878167a300" target="_blank">Coleen, whose television career is expected to take off</a> after her successful stint on <em>I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!</em><br></p>
