Wayne Rooney believes he can still become a top manager despite being sacked by Birmingham City after a torrid spell in charge.
The Manchester United legend was appointed Birmingham boss in October, but took charge of just 15 matches before being sacked in January.
I left Derby, and it was a week later that I went off to DC United, and after DC United, it was 24hrs later that I went to Birmingham, so now is the first time I’ve had off.
‘You reflect a lot; you think of things you could have done differently or things you could do better – you overthink.
I’ve never been one who blames people, I wouldn’t look at other people and blame them.
‘I think the [Birmingham City] owners are fantastic, and they’ll do well in the future, but it’s football and when you go into a job, especially now as a manager, you can get sacked.
‘We’ve seen it many times, it’s part of the job and it can happen, but what’s important is how you bounce back from that.’
Rooney, who has been house hunting in the south west with wife Coleen, has expressed how he plans to use his experience at past clubs to help him in his new role.
He faces a challenging task at Plymouth, who narrowly avoided relegation from the Championship themselves last season.
