WAYNE Rooney will not always want to be front and centre as Plymouth head coach and will be quite happy to hand over training sessions or team meetings to his backroom staff.
That is a glimpse into what the Pilgrims’ players can expect from their new boss going into the 2024/25 Championship campaign. Pete Shuttleworth, who was named as Argyle’s assistant head coach last Wednesday, described Rooney’s management style in an interview last December.
Rooney was in charge of Birmingham City at the time but Shuttleworth spoke at a Press conference before Blues’ pre-Christmas trip to play Argyle at Home Park because the England legend was ill.
He gave his personal insight into Rooney, having worked for him at Derby County and DC United in the USA before linking up with him again at Birmingham. In the interview it was put to Shuttleworth that Rooney as a manager was so calm on the touchline and nothing like how he was as a player out on the pitch.
