Wayne Rooney, former England and Manchester United player, has been dismissed as Birmingham City's manager after 83 days and 15 matches, during which he only won two games. He took over when the club was sixth in the Championship, and leaves them at 20th position. His dismissal was triggered by poor results, leading to fan backlash. The club's American owners, Knighthead Capital Management, are contemplating the position of chief executive Garry Cook, who appointed Rooney. Upon his dismissal, Rooney expressed his belief that he hadn't been given adequate time to improve results and said he would prepare for his next career opportunity.
