The German took over at Fir Park last week as he was hired to replace Stuart Kettlewell.
But had things worked out differently, he'd currently be sitting at the Memorial Ground managing the Pirates in England's League One.
Wimmer was all set to take over at Rovers in December before the ex-Austria Vienna coach saw the move collapse due to work-permit red tape.
