Former Manchester United forward, Wayne Rooney has been sacked by Championship side Birmingham City after recording just two wins from 15 matches since taking the job in October.
The 38-year-old was named Birmingham’s new manager on a three-and-a-half-year deal and he vowed to “elevate” the club following his much-talked-about appointment.
“I have a clear way that I want the team to play, and my coaching staff and I will work hard to implement it,” Rooney said. “We will create a winning culture here with an identity that gets Blues fans on their feet.”
He added: “My job is to elevate the club to the next level and I can’t wait to get started. I know what the expectations are and our job is to deliver.”
Despite his optimism, Rooney has won just two of his 15 games in charge and on Tuesday, it was confirmed that Rooney had been sacked from his role.
Birmingham City were 6th in the Championship before Wayne Rooney arrived. They’re now 20th.
