England and Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has been appointed manager of English second-tier Championship side Plymouth Argyle, the club announced on Saturday.

The job is Rooney's first managerial role since being sacked by Birmingham City in January after a disastrous 15-game spell in charge of the Championship club.
