The former Manchester United captain has returned to English football to take charge of the Championship club
Rooney will be assisted by two familiar faces at St Andrew’s with ex-England left-back Ashley Cole and former Manchester United defender John O’Shea joining his coaching staff. Carl Robinson and Pete Shuttleworth, who worked with Rooney in the US, will also be in his backroom team.
“It is very clear that they have a plan and are committed to realising their ambition for the club. We are fully aligned on what is expected. I have been building my managerial career, putting myself in challenging environments, to get me ready for this opportunity. It’s a project that gives me a sense of purpose and I can’t wait to get started.
“I’ve played at St Andrew’s and Birmingham City fans were always loud and passionate about their team. It was a really difficult place to come as an opponent and now I get to experience what it is like to have them behind us. My job is to elevate the club to the next level and I can’t wait to get started. I know what the expectations are and our job is to deliver.”
