Frank Lampard Considered as Potential Managerial Hope for Birmingham City Amid Wayne Rooney's Dismissal
On Tuesday, following a dismal performance with only 10 points in 15 games, Wayne Rooney was dismissed from his position as Birmingham City's manager. Now, Nigel Pearson, who was surprisingly let go by Sunderland in December last year, is set to meet with club officials to discuss the possibility of taking over.
Since Rooney's departure, Birmingham City has been evaluating several candidates, including Rooney's former England teammate Frank Lampard. The legendary Chelsea midfielder's profile has garnered interest from American owners, including NFL legend Tom Brady. However, it remains unclear whether Lampard is willing to continue his coaching career with a team in the bottom five of the EFL Championship.
Gary Rowett and Nathan Jones, who coached Chelsea from 2014 to 2016, are also among the coaches that Birmingham is considering. Jones had impressive stints with Luton but struggled during his managerial career at Southampton, leading to his dismissal three months later.
Additionally, a group of senior Birmingham players has shown interest in John Eustace, who was inexplicably dismissed by the club in October last year to make way for Rooney. While Eustace is open to returning, significant concessions from the American owners, who dismissed him when the club was in sixth place in the EFL Championship, would be required.
In summary, Birmingham City Football Club sees Lampard as the next potential head coach—a choice filled with hope and challenges. By bringing in Lampard, a seasoned coach, Birmingham aims to revive its fortunes, regain competitiveness, and showcase a more outstanding performance on the field. For Lampard, it's an opportunity to expand his football coaching career, and he is expected to put in the effort to embrace this new challenge
