Updated: 31/12/2024 at 10:28 GMT Wayne Rooney's brief tenure as Plymouth Argyle manager has come to an end after only seven months. The former England international struggled to alleviate the team's relegation concerns, with the club remaining stuck at the bottom of the Championship standings. Despite a three-year contract signed in May 2024, Rooney was dismissed after a series of disappointing results and poor performances, including a heavy 2-0 loss to fellow relegation candidates Oxford United on Sunday.

Before joining Plymouth, Rooney's time as Birmingham City head coach wa...

Carter, who served as the 39th President of the United States from January 20, 1977, to January 20, 1981, lived a life that transcended the Oval Office. His presidency was marked by efforts to broker peace, environmental advocacy, and a focus on human rights. However, it was his post-presidential years that truly solidified his legacy.
