English football legend Wayne Rooney has officially resigned as head coach of Birmingham City, which plays in the Championship.
During his tenure, the former striker lasted only 15 matches, with Birmingham securing only 2 victories, drawing 4 times, and suffering 9 defeats. Yesterday, Birmingham lost to Leeds 0:3.
Rooney took charge of Birmingham when the team held the sixth position, which would have qualified them for the playoff for a spot in the Premier League. However, after a series of setbacks, Birmingham is currently in 20th place, with a 5-point gap separating them from the relegation zone.
Rooney had coached DC United and Derby County before his coming to Birmingham.
