Wayne Rooney said it would “take some time to get over this setback” after he was sacked as manager of Championship side Birmingham City on Tuesday following a disastrous spell in charge.

The former Manchester United and England star, 38, was appointed in October but oversaw just two wins in 15 matches with Monday’s 3-0 thumping by Leeds, their ninth defeat under him, proving the final straw. Birmingham—who have NFL legend Tom Brady as a minority shareholder—are embroiled in a battle against relegation, slumping to 20th from sixth since Rooney took over.
“Football is a results business—and I recognise they have not been at the level I wanted them to be. Personally, it will take me some time to get over this setback. Now, I plan to take some time with my family as I prepare for the next opportunity,” said Rooney.
