Former D.C. United manager Wayne Rooney is back in English football, following the appointment of Tom Brady’s Birmingham City team following the sacking of John Eustace.
Birmingham City have appointed Wayne Rooney as their new manager following the dismissal of John Eustace. Rooney, a former England and Manchester United striker, signed a three-and-a-half-year contract at St Andrew’s after leaving D.C. United after failing to secure a play-off spot. Birmingham made the decision to sack Eustace, and Rooney has been confirmed as his replacement. Ashley Cole and John O’Shea, former United teammate, have also joined Birmingham as part of the new manager’s coaching staff.
Birmingham City Football Club has appointed Wayne Rooney as their new manager, agreeing to a three-and-a-half-year contract. Rooney, who recently left his role as Head Coach of D.C. United, is eager to start working with the club and will begin preparing for the Blues’ first game after the international break at Middlesbrough.
Birmingham City Football Club is excited to welcome new manager, Darren Clarke. Clarke has been building his managerial career and is excited to start his new role. The club has a plan and is committed to realizing its ambition. Clarke has been working in challenging environments to prepare for the role. The squad includes young players and experienced professionals. Clarke has a clear vision for the team to play and will work with the coaching staff to implement it. The goal is to create a winning culture and identity that gets Blues fans excited.
Birmingham have explained Eustace’s departure and will allow the new manager to assess the playing staff before the January and summer transfer windows. Rooney is expected to earn three times more than Eustace, with part-owner Tom Brady aiming to add “star appeal” to the Blues.
Rooney will have time to work with new players during the international break before Birmingham returns to action with three league games against Middlesbrough, Hull, and Southampton.
