A section of fans has called for the sacking of Wayne Rooney as Birmingham City boss.

The Manchester United legend has endured a disastrous start to life at the Championship club since his arrival.

According to Sky Sports, Rooney was appointed Birmingham City manager on a three-and-a-half-year deal back in October.

The former striker landed the role after he left his role as head coach of MLS side DC United by mutual agreement.

The Englishman arrived at St. Andrews at a time when the club were enjoying a fine run of form as they sat fifth, with an eye on promotion.

Rooney has managed just two wins in 13 games, with the latest outing ending in a 3-1 defeat at home against Stoke City, per BBC.

Fans react to Rooney's woeful run

The defeat sparked reactions from a number of fans, with some calling for the sacking of the former England international.

"It’s almost as if he’s not a very good manager 👀."

"What a great appointment ….. not."

"Sack him that’s a joke."

@AledHughes84 concluded:

"He’s not a good manager is he he was hired purely for his name."

Birmingham will be hoping to return to winning ways when they host Bristol City on Friday, December 29.
