Wayne Rooney will be replaced by Austrian Miron Muslic, according to PLYMOUTH.
A month ago, Muslic, 42, was fired by Belgian top-flight team Cercle Brugge, and now he is leading the Championship's worst team.
Only joined Argyle in the summer, Manchester United icon Rooney suffered the price for a worrying decline in performance after a mini-revival.
And the night before Plymouth's FA Cup third-round visit to Brentford in the Premier League, they revealed their replacement.
Muslic played for several Austrian clubs in the lower divisions before taking over as caretaker manager at the final one, Ried, in the subsequent division.
In September 2022, Cercle pounced after he had managed Ried youths, Austrian 2 opponents Floridsdorfer, and Ried's first squad in the same category.
