Coleen Rooney is not taking any chances over the prospects of her husband staying faithful to her in his new role as Plymouth coach.

Wayne Rooney’s new chapter as the manager of Plymouth Argyle is off to a rocky start, but not due to his business on the pitch. 

According to reports, Rooney’s wife, Coleen, has decided not to accompany him to his new role, choosing instead to stay behind with their four children at their family home. 

This decision comes after 16 years of marriage, marred by a series of highly publicized scandals involving the infidelities and disloyalties of the Manchester United legend.

Despite forgiving her husband, Coleen admitted in her Disney+ documentary that the betrayals are still fresh in her memory. 

Her trust in Wayne remains fragile, and has now prompted her to make the difficult choice of not uprooting their family life for a move that might only last a couple of years.

According to a report from Heat magazine, Coleen, the wife of one of the world's richest footballers, is worried about Wayne being alone and away from home. 

As a precaution, she has enlisted a trusted family member to keep an eye on him. 

 “Coleen recently said she won’t be moving to Plymouth and will only visit Wayne on holidays. And as much as she knows it’s the right thing to do for the children, part of her concern is him being alone and away from home,” a source said via the aforementioned outlet.

“If she knew it was going to be a long-term job, she would consider moving, but there are no guarantees and it won’t disrupt their lives, so it could just be a couple of years. 

“But she’s well aware that Wayne can’t cope on his own, so she’s asked a family member to keep an eye on him and stop him from making any stupid mistakes,” the source told the magazine.

This arrangement, which previously involved her brothers, is now being handled by another relative who will report back to Coleen. 

She believes that this measure will help keep Wayne in check, providing her with some peace of mind while he navigates his new role as head coach of Plymouth Argyle.

Coleen's decision is not just about stability for their children—it's also about ensuring Wayne doesn’t fall back into his old ways. 

Rooney, 38, will be looking to repair his disastrous managerial reputation after an underwhelming stint at Birmingham City last season, that saw him last less than three months in his role.

"This is my fourth job as a manager, so I've gained quite a bit of experience over the past few years, both good and bad," he was quoted to have said as per Sky Sports.

"I feel like I'm in the best possible place to go and manage Plymouth Argyle, so I feel ready for this challenge.

During his time at Birmingham, Rooney lost nine times out of his 15 games in as The Blues suffered their first relegation to the third tier of English football since 1995.

The former England international remains hopeful of overturning his previous misfortunes at the Home Park stadium this season.
