What next for an English football legend? Head coach Wayne Rooney has parted ways with Championship strugglers Plymouth Argyle by mutual consent. Author - Peter Grainger The video below shows Rooney’s reaction after a recent defeat against Norwich City. The 39-year-old former England captain managed only four league victories while suffering 13 defeats in 23 Championship matches since taking charge of the Pilgrims in May. His departure leaves the club rooted to the bottom of the table. Rooney arrived at Home Park just four months after being sacked by Birmingham City, where his short 83-day tenure saw nine defeats in 15 games. Sunday's 2-0 loss to Oxford United , which extended Plymouth's winless run to nine matches, was met with boos from the crowd. It marked their sixth defeat in that run, which began in early November. Under Rooney’s leadership, Plymouth have struggled at both ends of the pitch. They’ve scored the joint-fewest goals in the Championship and conceded mor...

Coventry City 4 - 0 Plymouth Argyle On Boxing Day, Plymouth Argyle endured yet another heavy away defeat in the Championship, as Wayne Rooney lost his first managerial clash against former England teammate Frank Lampard.  Lampard’s Coventry City dominated the injury-hit Argyle, scoring all their goals before the break. Author - Craig H  A bad day for Plymouth but their fans still created a fantastic atmosphere at Coventry. eurosuperfootball.blogspot.com [image or embed] — SuperNewsAffiliate ( @supernewsaffiliate.bsky.social ) 27 December 2024 at 21:37 Tatsuhiro Sakamoto opened the scoring early on, before a recalled Josh Eccles doubled the lead 20 minutes in. Coventry then put the game out of reach with two quickfire goals just before half-time. In-form Ephron Mason-Clark netted his fourth goal in six games since Lampard’s arrival, while Eccles added his second of the match – and tripled his season tally – to round off the first-half rout. This marked Lampard’s third win...

Cardiff City 5 - 0 Plymouth Argyle Cardiff City climbed off the bottom of the Championship table in stunning fashion with a dominant win over 10-man Plymouth Argyle, securing only their second league victory of the season. Author - Sean M In what was undoubtedly their finest display of the campaign so far, the Bluebirds surged to an early 2-0 lead. Alex Robertson opened the scoring with a sublime 20-yard curling strike, followed by a similarly classy finish from Rubin Colwill. Plymouth's troubles worsened just before half-time when Ibrahim Cissoko was sent off for pushing Perry Ng to the ground. Colwill, who had assisted Robertson’s opener, continued to shine in the second half. His low cross was tapped in by Anwar El Ghazi, before Callum Robinson added a fourth with an impressive solo run and finish. Chris Willock made it five with a bouncing shot from the edge of the box, as Cardiff more than doubled their season’s goal tally in one game, having scored just four in their prev...

Plymouth Argyle 3 - 1 Luton Town Plymouth Argyle are now on something of a roll after consecutive home victories. Following their recent victory over Sunderland, they've now had the better Luton. With six goals scored, things are starting to come together for Wayne Rooney's side. Rami Al Hajj got them off to a great start with an early goal, and substitute Ibrahim Cissoko made his mark with a brace. Luton had a glimmer of hope when Victor Moses briefly levelled things, but Plymouth proved too strong for a Luton side that looks like it is struggling to adapt to its return to English football's second tier. A closer look at what happened at Home Park Rami Al Hajj, making his first start for the home side, needed eight minutes to open his Argyle account, curling a lovely strike into the top corner after some slick build-up play. Despite creating further chances before half-time, Plymouth couldn’t extend their lead, while Elijah Adebayo missed a great opportunity to bring t...

Sheffield Wednesday 4 - 0 Plymouth Argyle Wayne Rooney's first match as head coach of Plymouth Argyle began on a sour note, as his team suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat against Sheffield Wednesday. The former England top scorer, who took charge of Argyle in May, watched his side struggle to create opportunities, while the home team cruised to victory. Sheffield Wednesday dominated the first half and deservedly went into the break with a lead, courtesy of debutant Jamal Lowe, who tapped in from close range after a well-executed build-up. Lowe was instrumental in Wednesday’s second goal, as his header from Djeidi Gassama’s cross deflected off Brendan Galloway for an own goal. The hosts continued to control the match. Josh Windass made it three with a powerful shot from six yards after Anthony Musaba pulled the ball back from the byline. Substitute Michael Smith completed the scoring in the sixth minute of added time, converting a close-range cross. EFL: 2024/2025 (eurosuperfootball.b...

 Port Vale 1 - 3 Plymouth  Plymouth were crowned League One champions after coming from behind to win at Port Vale on the season's final day. James Plant had given Vale the perfect start when he raced through to fire past keeper Callum Burton in the third minute. Midfielder Adam Randell restored parity with a low right-footed shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the box before Joe Edwards fired the Pilgrims ahead four minutes later. Finn Azaz finally made sure the title would head to Devon when his right-footed shot from the edge of the box nestled in the top corner. The win meant Argyle ended the season on 101 points, three clear of Ipswich Town. <Click here to read more news and stories from the English Football League> Some of the best reaction.
