Birmingham City’s American ownership saw them go through three head coaches, including Wayne Rooney, in a turbulent season that ended with their relegation to England’s third tier on Saturday. Despite winning 1-0 over Norwich, the team needed help from other matches to avoid the drop. Unfortunately, with Plymouth, Sheffield Wednesday, and Blackburn winning their respective games, Birmingham City was unable to avoid relegation.
Joining Birmingham City in League One next season will be Rotherham and Huddersfield Town. The team’s American ownership saw them go through three head coaches during the season. Club chairman Tom Wagner was excited to bring NFL legend Tom Brady’s winning mentality to the team last August when he became part of the ownership group. Although not present at St. Andrew’s on Saturday due to prior commitments in Miami and Los Angeles, Brady’s ownership of Birmingham City remains a significant move towards elevating the club’s stature.
