Wayne Rooney: Birmingham City appoint former Manchester United and England striker as manager

Wayne Rooney has been named the new manager of Birmingham City on a three-and-a-half year contract.

Former Manchester United and England striker Rooney left his post as DC United head coach by mutual consent on Sunday after missing out on the MLS Cup play-offs.

Birmingham then began talks with the 37-year-old just hours after sacking boss John Eustace on Monday, with the club sitting sixth in the Championship after back-to-back wins.
