FORMER England captain Wayne Rooney has said he is "grateful for the opportunity" to be part of Plymouth Argyle's "exciting long-term journey", after being appointed head coach.
The 38-year-old, who left Birmingham in January after just 15 games in charge, is believed to have signed a three-year deal to become head coach at Argyle after beating off strong competition for the position.
striker Ex-Manchester United Rooney said: "Taking this role at Plymouth Argyle feels like the perfect next step in my career and I would like to thank the chairman and board for the faith they have shown in me.
"This is an opportunity to be part of an exciting project. I look forward to helping to build a squad of players to play expansive football and to entertain the Green Army.
"I have experienced first-hand how talented the existing group of players is here and also the incredible atmosphere at Home Park. The club is on an exciting long-term journey, with a progressive plan in place. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of it. I can't wait for the Championship season to start in August."
