Plymouth narrowly avoided relegation from last season's Championship, finishing just a point an💝d a place ♚above 22nd-placed Birmingham City.
Incidentally, Rooney managed Birmingham during the campaign, though he lasted less th🅷an three months before being sacked.
Having replaced the fired John Eustace with the club sitting sixth in the Championship, Rooney was dismis𓆉sed in January after winning just two of his 15 matches at the helm, with Birmingham ♏ultimately going on to be relegated to League One.
Though his time at Birmingham was challenging to say the least, Rooney has high expectations for his new role, saying: "Taking this roleಞ at Plymouth Argyle feels like the perfe♑ct next step in my career.
"This is 🌳an opportunity to be part of an exciting project. I look forward to helping to build a squad of players to play expansive football.
“I ha𓆉ve experienced first-hand how talented the existing group of players is here, and also the incredible atmosphere at Home Park. The club is on an exciting l💎ong-term journey, with a progressive plan in place. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of it.
"I can't wait for the Championship seasꩵon to start in Augus💝t."
