Wayne Rooney has targeted a return to the Premier League with Birmingham City after his appointment as manager.
Rooney was named Birmingham's new boss on a three-and-a-half-year deal on Wednesday.
Former Manchester United and England striker Rooney, who left his role as head coach of DC United by mutual consent on Sunday after they missed out on the MLS Cup play-offs, replaces John Eustace at St Andrew's after he was sacked on Monday despite the club sitting sixth in the Championship following back-to-back wins.
Speaking in his first press conference as Blues boss, Rooney insisted promotion back to the Premier League is his and the club's main target after a 12-year absence from the top flight.
"The goal for the club and myself is to get this club back to the Premier League," Rooney said.
"There is a lot of work to be done throughout the football club but the Premier League is where we want to get to.
"It's an ambition of mine and it is an ambition of the club's, and we are putting everything in place to make sure we do that in the near future."
