Wayne Rooney set to 'play second fiddle' to wife Coleen after Plymouth sacking as I'm A Celebrity runner-up mulls 'very attractive' TV offers

Championship

Plymouth

Burnley

<p>After a series of poor results throughout the first half of the 2024-25 campaign, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/wayne-rooney-sacked-plymouth-nine-match-winless-run-man-utd-legend-leaves-pilgrims-rock-bottom-championship/blt4d751c637544f4b0" target="_blank">Plymouth finally decided to part ways with manager Rooney</a> on the last day of the year. Under the Manchester United legend's tutelage, the Pilgrims managed to win just four matches out of 23 in the Championship and are currently at the bottom of the league table.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p><a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/32557883/wayne-rooney-plymouth-argyle-coleen-tv-career/" target="_blank"><em>The Sun</em></a> reports that Rooney is now set to become a 'house husband' while his wife Coleen starts a new career in TV. Coleen finished second in the reality show<em> I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here</em> last month and has since been fielding a host of 'very attractive' television offers. The 38-year-old is said to be mulling 'four or five' proposals which could see her sharing screen time with stars like Holly ­Willoughby, Lorraine Kelly and Cat Deeley.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>A source close to <em>The Sun</em> said: "Coleen is sad that Wayne has lost his job because she knows how much work he put into it and how much he loves being a football manager. But every cloud has a silver ­lining and it means that he will be back home with her and the boys and will give her more confidence that she can grab hold of whatever opportunities come her way. Since leaving Australia she has tried to focus on her kids as it was very hard to be away from them for so long. But she is aware there is huge interest in her and offers from TV companies and shows have been flooding in. There are four or five very attractive offers already on the table. Wayne being back home will allow her to give them her full consideration. Wayne’s football career has always taken precedence and rightly so given how successful he’s been. But it seems like it’s now Coleen’s time to shine. She’s supported him for the past 20 years so now it might be his time to play second fiddle to Coleen."</p>

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

<p>Rooney might consider returning to football management in the long run. However, in the short term, it has been reported that the former Manchester United and England striker <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wayne-rooney-receive-immediate-offer-plymouth-sacking-man-utd-legend/bltf1256cd10f2a4748#cs556da3c871028029" target="_blank">will move back into punditry</a>, having previously appeared on BBC Sport and Sky Sports' The Overlap podcast.</p>
