Wayne Rooney next?! Championship club sacks manager after winless run but Plymouth boss survives for now despite 4-0 thumping at hands of Frank Lampard's Coventry

Stoke City started the season with former Plymouth Argyle boss Steven Schumacher at the helm. However, come September, the Potters decided to part ways with the 40-year-old and bring on Narcis Pelach to rescue the situation but to no avail.

Stoke City have now announced that they have parted ways with Pelach as well, after the Potters’ 2-0 loss to Leeds United at bet365 Stadium. The loss to Daniel Farke’s Championship leading side was Stoke’s ninth straight winless game, while having picked up just three wins in 19 clashes under the Spanish coach.

Manchester United legend and Plymouth Argyle boss Rooney could very well be the next Championship manager in line to get sacked by his club as Championship bottomers Plymouth are considering parting ways with the footballing legend. The Pilgrims have only managed to win just four games in their opening 22 clashes of the Championship season and following their 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Frank Lampard's Coventry City, serious talks are being held regarding Rooney's future at the club.

The Potters are yet to announce who will be taking over from Pelach ahead of their last clash of the year against Sunderland on December 29. Meanwhile, Rooney will hope to steer his Plymouth side to a win when the Pilgrims take on Oxford United.
