Garry Monk has expressed his disappointment over comments by Birmingham City following his dismissal from the club.

The 40-year-old was sacked on Tuesday, with the Blues reasoning that Monk did not serve the "long term interests of the club" and that they wanted to "adopt a fresh and modern footballing philosophy".

In response, Monk said in a statement on Twitter: "I am aware of certain disappointing comments the club has made in the wake of my dismissal.

"Mindful of my contractual obligations, it is not my intention, certainly not at this stage, to engage with those comments.

"I would rather focus on the many positives I have experienced in my time with Birmingham City FC."
