John Eustace has been sacked by Birmingham with the club sixth in the Championship.
The 43-year-old was appointed as Blues head coach in July 2022 and oversaw 21 wins in his 63 games in charge, the last of which came on Friday night in the 3-1 victory over West Brom in a West Midlands derby. Reports have surfaced suggesting Wayne Rooney is in the frame to replace Eustace following his mutually-agreed exit from MLS outfit DC United. The links have further intensified after Rooney's son Kai began following Birmingham and several players on Instagram.
