Tony Mowbray in Line to Replace Wayne Rooney

Tony Mowbray was due to hold talks with Birmingham on Thursday as the club seek a successor to former England captain Wayne Rooney.

Rooney was dismissed from his role on Tuesday, following a streak of unfavorable results, the most recent being a significant loss against Leeds United on New Year’s Day. The decision came just 15 matches into Rooney’s tenure. The swift move to find a replacement indicates the urgency of the situation

Mowbray who was surprisingly sacked by Sunderland in December was set to meet club officials to discuss the role.
