Wayne Rooney has been sacked by Championship side
Birmingham City after recording just two wins from 15 matches.
The 38-year-old was named Birmingham's new manager on a three-and-a-half-year deal in October and vowed to elevate" the club following his much-talked-about appointment.
"I have a clear way that I want the team to play, and my coaching staff and I will work hard to implement it," Rooney said. "We will create a winning culture here with an identity that gets Blues fans on their feet."
He added: "My job is to elevate the club to the next level and I can't wait to get started. I know what the expectations are and our iob is to deliver."
Despite his optimism, Rooney won just two of his 15 games in charge and on Tuesday morning, it was confirmed that Rooney had been sacked from his role.
The news comes less than 24 hours after Rooney called out an "unacceptable" chant during Birmingham City's defeat to Leeds.
Rooney's men travelled to Elland Road on Monday with the hope of securing a rare victory but it was another afternoon to forget for the Blues as they fell to a 3-0 defeat.
