Wayne Rooney Prepares to Feature in a New Documentary Chronicling His Time Managing Plymouth Argyle as Cameras Begin Rolling

Wayne Rooney, the former England captain, is gearing up for another documentary feature—this time chronicling his managerial journey with Plymouth Argyle.

Following the footsteps of clubs like Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool, Plymouth has embraced the trend of opening its doors to TV cameras, offering fans an exclusive look at life behind the scenes.

A Challenging Start for Rooney at Plymouth

Since taking charge in May, Rooney has managed 17 games, securing five wins, four draws, and eight losses.

The team currently sits 18th in the Championship, just a single point clear of the relegation zone.

With the stakes high, the documentary will delve into the pressures and strategies behind Rooney’s efforts to steer Plymouth to safety.

Filming has already commenced, as reported by The Sun.

Rooney’s Documentary Legacy

This new project marks Rooney’s return to the documentary format.

Fans might recall his 2015 feature, Rooney: The Man Behind the Goals, which offered a glimpse into his family life.

However, the focus now shifts to his managerial acumen and his ability to navigate the challenges of the Championship.

Interestingly, this comes as his wife, Coleen Rooney, is miles away in Australia, competing on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

Reflecting on Derby Ties

Plymouth’s most recent match, a 1-1 draw against Derby County, was a poignant moment for Rooney, who previously managed the Rams.

Speaking to BBC Sport, he reflected on his emotional return:

“It was strange being in the away dugout. The fans were great, giving me a warm reception.

I’ve shared some incredible memories here during tough times for the club.

I hope the fans know I gave it my all to help keep the club stable.

There’s a mutual respect between us, and I wish Derby nothing but success.”

From Derby to D.C. and Beyond

Rooney’s managerial journey has been diverse.

His stint at Derby saw him stave off relegation in his first season before the club ultimately went down the following year.

From there, he managed D.C. United in the U.S., leading the team for 53 games, before a brief tenure at Birmingham City in late 2023.

Now, the spotlight is firmly on his time at Plymouth, with cameras documenting his every move.

What’s Next for Plymouth and Rooney?

With the international break providing a brief respite, Plymouth’s next fixture isn’t until November 22.

The documentary promises to capture pivotal moments in the team’s battle for Championship survival, offering viewers an inside look at Rooney’s strategies and leadership.

As the cameras roll, fans can anticipate an intimate portrayal of the trials and triumphs of Plymouth Argyle under Wayne Rooney’s stewardship.
