After being hired in October, Rooney has only won two games since then. When he started, Birmingham was sixth in the Championship. Now they are twenty-first.

Last summer, an American investor named Tom Wagner bought the club and fired popular coach John Eustace. Eustace had been in charge for 15 months and kept the club from going down to the lower leagues.

That’s right, Birmingham City has fired boss Wayne Rooney and first-team coach Carl Robinson, the club said in a statement. “Results have not lived up to the expectations that were made clear from the start, despite their best efforts.” The board thinks that a new management team is best for the sports club because of this.

Manchester United and England star Wayne Rooney was criticised by Birmingham fans after their 3-0 loss at Leeds on Monday.

And Rooney said, “Football is a results business, and I know they have not been at the level I wanted them to be.” “However, time is the most valuable thing a manager needs, and I don’t think 13 weeks was enough to make the changes that needed to be made.”

“It will take me some time to get over this setback,” Rooney, who is 38 years old, said. But he would “prepare for the next chance in my journey as a manager” in the end.

He started working for Birmingham in early October, after being the manager of D.C. United in Major League Soccer for a full season. Rooney used to be the boss of Derby, a team in the second level.

Birmingham last played in the Premier League in 2011. That same year, the team won the English League Cup, one of only two big titles it has won in its 148-year history.
