Birmingham, 2 Jan (ONA) — Birmingham City have sacked manager Wayne Rooney after just 83 days in charge of the Championship club.
The 38-year-old was appointed on 11 October 2023 following the controversial decision to dismiss John Eustace, with Blues sixth in the table, BBC sports reported.
Since then, Blues have slipped to 20th, Monday’s 3-0 loss at Leeds having been his ninth defeat in 15 games.
