For his inability to progress with the club, Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney has been sacked as the Manager of Championship side, Birmingham City.
According to information from the Club website, Rooney was fired after a poor 15-match run.
The 38-year-old former United and England forward was appointed in October 2023 but oversaw just two wins in 15 matches with Monday’s 3-0 thumping by Leeds, their ninth defeat under him, proving the final straw.
“Despite their best efforts, results have not met the expectations that were made clear at the outset,” read a statement from the club.
“Therefore, the board feels that a change in management is in the best interests of the football club.”
Rooney replaced John Eustace, who was sacked just after he had guided Birmingham to two successive wins which propelled them into the play-off places.
Reacting to his sack, Rooney put up some words on his social media pages
“Football is a results business -– and I recognise they have not been at the level I wanted them to be,” said Rooney.
“However, time is the most precious commodity a manager requires and I do not believe 13 weeks was sufficient to oversee the changes that were needed.
