New Plymouth boss Wayne Rooney has opened up about his past failures in management.
Rooney was sacked by Birmingham City midway through last season, with the club narrowly relegated at the end of the term.
Now the Manchester United and England legend hopes that he can strike the right chords next season.
“I had my playing career but you have to move on," he said.
“I have put a lot of work and time in to try and better myself as a coach, I want to be a coach who helps players, academy players are really important. I was a player who came into the first team at 16, a lot are good enough but don't get the chance.
“The clubs I've been at have all had challenges, administration with Derby, I went out to DC to experience something a little bit different, improve and develop, and I found my way here to Argyle and I feel I am the best shape I can be in.
“Since January I have had time to reflect on my previous job. Coming here last season with Birmingham, I was really impressed with the fans and the set-up so once this role way available I really wanted to explore it."
