This had to happen sometime. Rooney's team won the first match

Wayne Rooney, the legendary player of Manchester United and the English national team, took charge of the English Championship club Birmingham over a month ago, precisely on October 11, following his departure from the MLS side D.C. United.

However, his start at Birmingham was challenging, and discontent among the fans began to surface. The team was sixth in the Championship at the start of October, and shortly after, the then-manager John Yustas was dismissed due to a lack of alignment with the club's leadership. Rooney's arrival seemed to exacerbate the situation; during his tenure, Birmingham managed only one draw, losing all other matches. Some fans even urged the legendary player to "go back to America."

However, in yesterday's match against Sheffield Wednesday, although Birmingham conceded a goal at the end of the first half of regular time, Baku leveled the score before the break, sending the game into extra time. Then, in the 81st minute, James scored the second goal for his team, establishing the final score of the match.

Rooney's era at Birmingham has thus far been tense and disappointing. Many saw his appointment as a move by the club to have a figurehead with a prominent name. Now, having secured his first victory as a coach, the task ahead will be to ignite their championship aspirations and prove that he possesses all the necessary qualities to achieve success.
