Wayne Rooney has been sacked by Birmingham City after just 15 games in charge of the Championship club. The former England and Manchester United striker was appointed in October with City sitting sixth in the table but under Rooney the club’s results nosedived and they now find themselves in 20th.
Rooney won just two games out of his 15 in charge, losing nine, and City’s fans turned on the 38-year-old following a dismal 3-0 defeat to Leeds United on New Year’s Day, calling for his immediate sacking. Rooney was heralded as a statement appointment by Birmingham’s new ownership group – which includes former NFL quarterback Tom Brady – when he replaced John Eustace and the former Derby County and DC United coach was expected to have the club challenging for promotion to the Premier League.
But Eustace was popular with the Birmingham fans and Rooney failed to get those supporters on his side as the club dropped down the table, with the former England captain sacked after just 83 days in charge and City now fighting a relegation battle
