A production company has started filming a documentary about former Birmingham City boss Wayne Rooney, who is now the head coach of Plymouth Argyle. The documentary is expected to be released on a streaming service next summer. Rooney’s global fame is likely to attract a lot of interest to the project, especially considering his mixed tenure at Birmingham City.
Rooney only managed to secure two wins in 15 matches while at St Andrew’s, leading to skepticism about his appointment at Plymouth Argyle. Despite this, the documentary will shed light on his journey as a manager and his return to the Championship just four months after leaving Birmingham City.
Football documentaries have become increasingly popular, with clubs like Sunderland and Wrexham starring in successful series. Now, it’s Argyle’s turn to step into the limelight with Rooney leading the way. The production crew has already been spotted filming at Home Park during a recent match against Portsmouth and at Derby County.
Filming will continue over the next few months, capturing Rooney in action as he aims to lead Argyle to a successful 2024/25 Championship campaign. His presence at the club has already boosted its profile, bringing national media attention to a club that is not often in the spotlight due to its location in the far south-west of England.
Rooney is no stranger to documentary filming, as he was previously the focus of a feature-length film in 2022 that delved into his playing career at Manchester United and for England, as well as his personal life. This new documentary will provide fans with an inside look at his managerial journey and his efforts to bring success to Plymouth Argyle.
