The Manchester United hero, who already had a relegation on his CV, only lasted a few months at St Andrew's after enduring a rotten tenure.
Birmingham City have been relegated to the third tier of English football for the first time in 30 years, four months after Wayne Rooney ’s ill-fated spell.
When was Rooney hired by Birmingham? Few were shocked when Birmingham unveiled Rooney as their new boss on October 11 after weeks of intense speculation. Many questioned the move given Eustace’s work in steering the Blues away from relegation last season and starting the new campaign well. Rooney added: “We will create a winning culture here with an identity that gets Blues fans on their feet. My job is to elevate the club to the next level.”
A 1-0 defeat was followed with losses to Hull City and Southampton before picking up an applaudable but belated point at home to now-promoted Ipswich Town. A 3-1 defeat to Sunderland ensued before Rooney earned his first win in a 2-1 triumph over Sheffield Wednesday on November 25. Birmingham had slipped from sixth to 20th during his tenure and lingered six points above the drop zone. Sacked Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray shortly took over but stepped back due to health issues in February, and so Gary Rowett oversaw the rest of the season and ultimately the club’s relegation.
"Now, I plan to take some time with my family as I prepare for the next opportunity in my journey as a manager. Finally, I wish Birmingham City FC and its owners my best wishes in the pursuit of their ambitions."
