Rooney welcome at Birmingham City?

Birmingham City have parted company with head coach John Eustace after 15 months in charge.

The Championship club are sixth in the table after Friday's 3-1 derby win over West Bromwich Albion.

American-owned Blues have been linked with ex-England captain Wayne Rooney, who has just left his role as coach of Major League Soccer side DC United.

The club said the appointment of a new boss is imminent and will be encouraged to adopt a "no fear" approach.
