According to reports ‘Wayne Rooney Confirms Agreement as the New Manager for Birmingham City’ Birmingham City appears to have finalized an agreement for Wayne Rooney to take on the role of the club’s new manager.
Following their summer takeover, Birmingham City has seen a promising start to their Championship campaign, amassing 18 points from 11 matches.
Despite finishing in 17th place last season, their joint-best in seven years, Birmingham currently holds the sixth position in the standings. Nonetheless, the decision has been made to dismiss head coach John Eustace.
In a statement released on Monday, the West Midlands team mentioned their intention to appoint a successor responsible for establishing a distinctive identity and an audacious playing style.
Preceding Eustace’s departure, rumors circulated that Rooney had already been singled out as their preferred replacement.
Rooney, who was most recently with MLS side DC United, managed only 15 wins out of 53 matches in charge of the Washington-based team.
Last week, the club confirmed parting ways with Rooney by mutual agreement, stating that their working relationship had reached its natural conclusion.
At that time, Rooney indicated he had no other job lined up, though the assumption was that his next position would be in England.
According to The Times, all concerned parties have now come to an agreement, paving the way for Rooney to be officially named as Birmingham’s next manager later this week.
The report reveals that the 37-year-old has been offered a salary three times higher than what Eustace was earning before departing from St Andrew’s.
With the international break underway, Birmingham officials are not under pressure to hastily finalize the deal. Nonetheless, it is now anticipated that Rooney will take charge during the Championship match against the in-form Middlesbrough on October 21.
Rooney has prior managerial experience in English football, achieving 24 wins and 22 draws during his 85-match tenure with Derby County, a period marked by severe constraints due to transfer embargos and points deductions.
