Experienced managers Tony Mowbray and Gary Rowett are among the contenders for the Birmingham City job.

Wayne Rooney lost his position as the club's head coach after a run of poor results.

Rooney took over the team when they were sixth in the table and has left them near the relegation zone.

Per The Mirror, Mowbray and Rowett are the type of experienced coaches Birmingham want to bring into the club.

Rooney only lasted a few months in the job, having replaced the popular John Eustace.

City fans believe their new owners made a mistake in sacking Eustace for Rooney in the first place.
