Wayne Rooney has emerged as a potential candidate on Birmingham City's radar following the club's decision to part ways with John Eustace. The club, currently occupying the sixth position in the Championship, made an official statement on Monday, announcing the dismissal of their former coach, Eustace.
The statement emphasized the importance of aligning the Board of Directors and football management in establishing a winning mentality and a culture of ambition throughout the entire Football Club. Eustace had been at the helm of Birmingham City for a period of 15 months, having taken charge in July 2022.
During his tenure, Eustace managed to secure Birmingham City's Sky Bet Championship status, guiding them to a 17th-place finish in his first season. He navigated the squad through challenging periods, and the club expressed gratitude for his dedication.
While acknowledging Eustace's contributions, Birmingham City hinted at an imminent announcement regarding a new First Team Manager. The statement conveyed, "The Club would like to thank John for his contribution. His dedication and work ethic were evident throughout his time in B9, and he will always be welcomed back to St. Andrew's."
Furthermore, the statement revealed that a new First Team Manager would be introduced in the coming days. This individual will be tasked with creating an identity and a clear 'no fear' playing style that all Birmingham City teams will adopt and embrace. The club also noted that there would be no further comments at this time.
This development marks a significant moment in Birmingham City's quest for fresh leadership, and the potential involvement of Wayne Rooney adds an intriguing dimension to their search for a new manager.
