Birmingham's management decided to dismiss Rooney after another defeat in the Premier League - yesterday Birmingham lost to Leeds 0-3, dropping to 20th place in the standings.
It is significant that in the few months of his work (Rooney was appointed as the team's coach on 11 October last year), the Englishman has dropped Birmingham from 5th place to 20th, winning only 2 matches out of 15 (with 9 defeats and 4 draws).
The new head coach will be announced later.
