Terrible blow for Rooney

Wayne Rooney has been sacked as Birmingham manager due to the club’s disastrous results.

The transition from a playing career to a coaching career is sometimes difficult to manage, and Wayne Rooney is learning it the hard way. After a more than brilliant career, notably at Manchester United, the former England international had two complicated first experiences at Derby County then at DC United. Coach of Birmingham City (English D2) since October, he was sacked after two and a half catastrophic months.

In 15 matches under the leadership of the former striker, Birmingham have only won twice and are now in 20th place (out of 24) in the standings. With only 13.3% victories for the Bluesthe 38-year-old coach presents a catastrophic record and was dismissed from his duties this Tuesday, as indicated in the Mirror. A third very painful experience.
