Birmingham City has parted ways with Wayne Rooney, confirming his departure with immediate effect. The club's decision comes as a response to a disappointing performance during Rooney's tenure, where Birmingham, once positioned 5th in the Championship, has now slipped to 20th in the table. Rooney's managerial record reflects a challenging period, with the team failing to secure victory in 13 out of 15 games under his guidance. The club released a statement expressing regret that Rooney's time did not unfold as anticipated, leading them to opt for a change in direction.
