The 37-year-old replaces John Eustace, who was sacked on Monday.
BIRMINGHAM: Former Manchester United and England forward Wayne Rooney has been appointed manager of Birmingham City on a three-and-a-half-year contract, the second-tier Championship club said today.
“I have been building my managerial career, putting myself in challenging environments, to get me ready for this opportunity. It’s a project that gives me a sense of purpose and I can’t wait to get started,” Rooney said in a statement. Rooney will be supported by former England teammate Ashley Cole and ex-United teammate John O’Shea, who will both keep their assistant coaching roles with the England under-21 and Ireland senior teams, respectively.
Prior to his stint with DC United, Rooney had a 17-month spell in charge of Derby County where his team collected 55 points – enough for survival – but were relegated to the third tier of English football after points were deducted amid financial trouble.
