Coleen Rooney aired fears for Wayne's manager career weeks before he's sacked again

Coleen Rooney admitted her concerns for her husband Wayne's manager career just weeks before he was sacked again. The WAG, 38, made the comments during a chat with her campmates on I'm A Celebrity in November and referred to her husband's then-job as head coach of Plymouth Argyle. He was appointed the position in May but had a disastrous spell in charge, leading them to just four Championship wins all season.
Danny Jones - who was crowned King of the Jungle at the end of the series after going head-to-head with Coleen in the final - had asked her about Wayne's new job: "Is he loving managing?'. "Yeah, he does enjoy it, it's hard though," she admitted. "I find it more nerve wracking him being a manager than I did… I feel more pressure.".
Barry Guigan added: "Well, he was very mature very quickly wasn't he, he grew up very quickly?" Coleen responded with a laugh: "Well, I don't know about that!". Plymouth's latest adverse result saw them sink to a 2-0 defeat to fellow strugglers Oxford United. It leaves Plymouth rock bottom of the table, already four points from safety and the club’s owners have decided to make a change.
A statement read: "Plymouth Argyle can confirm that the club and Head Coach Wayne Rooney have mutually agreed to part ways with immediate effect. Departing the club with Rooney will be Assistant Head Coach Mike Phelan and first team coach Simon Ireland.
"First team coach Kevin Nancekivell and Club Captain Joe Edwards will lead the team for our Sky Bet Championship match against Bristol City on New Year’s Day. Daryl Flahavan will continue as Goalkeeping coach. We would like to thank Wayne and his team for all their efforts and wish them well for the future.".
