Wayne Rooney, now the former head coach of Birmingham City, commented on his dismissal.
"I'd like to thank Tom Wagner, Tom Brady and Gary Cook for the opportunity to lead Birmingham City and the support they have given me. Football is a business that depends on results and I understand that they are not at the level I want them to be. At the same time, I believe that 13 weeks is too little time to make the necessary changes," said Rooney.
