The England legend held his first Press conference as Argyle's head coach at Home Park yesterday, which was attended by a large number of media and lasted for around 40 minutes as he was asked a wide range of questions.
Rooney has backed himself to be a success with the Pilgrims as he returns to football following his dismissal as Birmingham City boss at the start of January after just 15 games in charge.
One of those matches was a 3-3 draw with Argyle at Home Park two days before Christmas and the 38-year-old revealed the sold-out crowd at the Theatre of Greens had left a lasting impression on him.
Rooney said: "I remember in December coming here with Birmingham City, the first time I have been here, and I was so impressed with the atmosphere. It was a very difficult game for us at the time.
And then once there was contact with the club I knew I wanted to come here, and it was a long process in order for me to be appointed as head coach, but it was enjoyable. It's probably the first time I have been through that process as thorough as it was.
"I enjoyed it and obviously the club felt I was the best man to take the club forward. I have heard a lot of good things about the place, about the football club. Over the last month, since I have been in, all of that has shown.
"The togetherness of the football club, the togetherness of the staff, has been been outstanding and really refreshing for me to be a part of that, so I'm delighted to be here.
