Filming has officially commenced for a new documentary that will take viewers behind the scenes at Plymouth Argyle, focusing on the Championship club and their head coach, Wayne Rooney. This exciting development comes as sports fans eagerly follow the former England captain's first season in charge.
The cameras will be rolling at Home Park, capturing every moment of Rooney's inaugural season as head coach. This news broke just a day after his wife, Coleen Rooney, made headlines by entering ITV's 'I'm a Celebrity...' jungle in Australia.
Rooney assumed his role at Argyle in May and has since guided the Pilgrims to four victories and four draws out of their 15 Championship matches this season. However, details about which platform or channel will broadcast this show or its air date remain undisclosed.
Currently ranked 18th in the 24-team Championship and just one point above relegation places, Plymouth Argyle is under immense pressure. The documentary aims to provide an intimate look into how they navigate these challenges under Rooney’s leadership.
Sports documentaries becoming a growing trend
Plymouth Argyle joins a growing list of football clubs that have been featured in behind-the-scenes documentaries recently. Wrexham is perhaps most notable with their "Welcome to Wrexham" series featuring owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds becoming popular on Disney+.
Netflix also jumped on this trend with "Sunderland 'Til I Die," which lasted three seasons. It followed Sunderland’s journey from suffering relegation from both Premier League and Championship into League One before finally earning promotion back into the second tier. Premier League teams like Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal have also been subjects of similar documentaries over recent years.
This upcoming documentary on Plymouth Argyle promises to be an engaging and informative watch for sports fans and sports betting enthusiasts alike. It will offer a unique perspective into the workings of a Championship side, their struggles against relegation, and the impact of a new head coach like Wayne Rooney.
