Wayne Rooney ‘lands new coaching job just one WEEK after Plymouth sacking’

Wayne Rooney's next coaching job has been revealed following his departure from Plymouth Argyle.

Former Manchester United and England star Rooney was sacked by Plymouth on December 31 with the club bottom of the Championship.

It was Rooney's fourth managerial job after spells in charge of Derby, DC United and Birmingham.

During his time at Plymouth, Rooney oversaw 25 matches, of which his side won five, drew six and lost fourteen.

After sacking Rooney, Plymouth appointed Miron Muslic as his replacement.

Rooney has now secured a new job, which will start next month.

As reported by The Mirror, Rooney has landed a lucrative job that will see him lead 'Train With Wayne' sessions at a luxury hotel in Dubai.

The sessions will take place during the February half term.

Rooney's wife Coleen and their four sons – Kai, Klay, Kit and Cass – were able to join him in Dubai.

The coaching exercises will take place at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, with a seven-day holiday for a family of four, including the course but excluding flights, from £7,500.

Plymouth confirmed Rooney's departure with a statement on December 31.

The statement read: 'Plymouth Argyle can confirm that the club and head coach Wayne Rooney have mutually agreed to part ways with immediate effect.

'Departing with Rooney are assistant head coach Mike Phelan and first-team coach Simon Ireland.

'We would like to thank Wayne and his team for all their efforts and wish them all the best for the future.'

Rooney said: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the board of Plymouth Argyle Football Club, in particular Simon Hallett and Neil Dewsnip with whom I have had a great relationship.

'Thank you also to all the staff who made me feel welcome and who make the club such a special place, the players and fans for their commitment and support during my time as Head Coach and I wish them all the best for the future.

'To the Green Army thank you for making the games at Home Park so special, they are memories we will share forever.

'I would also like to give a special mention to my coaching staff Kevin Nancekivell, Simon Ireland, Darryl Flahavan and Mike Phelan for their knowledge, dedication, help and support.

'Plymouth Argyle will always have a special place in my heart, and I will continue to look forward to and be interested in their results.'
