Wayne Rooney's Short-Lived Birmingham Tenure: From Tactical Shifts to Property Ventures
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Athletic
Wayne Rooney was unexpectedly sacked as Birmingham City manager after just 15 games, despite being part of what was thought to be a long-term project. The team's performance under his leadership was poor, with only two wins, leading to a slide down the Championship table and fan discontent. Rooney's approach to change the team's playing style did not resonate with the players or produce the desired results. The club's new owners are now faced with the challenge of finding a replacement who can reconnect with the fans and improve the team's performance.
