Wayne Rooney is set to star in a new documentary series about his time managing Plymouth Argyle in the Championship.

Rooney was appointed manager earlier this year after Plymouth narrowly avoided relegation to League One, with the former Manchester United star returning to coaching after previous spells in charge of Derby County, DC United and Birmingham.

And according to a report from the Sun, filming has already begun on a fly-on-the-wall documentary series about Rooney’s time at Plymouth, similar to the hit documentaries about fellow EFL clubs Wrexham and Sunderland.

The news comes as Rooney’s wife, Coleen, takes part in the hit ITV show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here. Wayne currently splits his time between Devon and the family’s Cheshire mansion, with Coleen looking after the couple’s four children.

Opening up about their long distance relationship before entering the I’m A Celebrity jungle, Coleen told the Mirror : “Wayne comes back once a week, sometimes twice, depending on the fixtures. Usually, he has Sunday off so he might come home.

“What’s good about the Championship is that a lot of games are closer to me, closer to home, up in the North. So he’ll come home on a Saturday evening and spend Sunday with us, depending on what the boys have got on.

“So literally, on the Sunday before I flew off, we all went to Klay’s football tournament, we came home and had dinner together so it was a nice family day. Time together is limited, more so than ever now because of the travelling and stuff.

“But not long ago it was international break, so we went away and got two nights together which was lovely. The international breaks are probably when we spend the most time together.

“It’s an international break now but obviously I’m here otherwise we would have gone away and spent a night or two away together.”
