Wayne Rooney has targeted immediate promotion to the Premier League after he was unveiled as Birmingham’s new manager on Thursday.
The former Manchester United and England captain has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal at St Andrew’s and takes his second role in English football after a stint with crisis-torn Derby between 2020 and 2021.
He said: ‘We will push for promotion this year of course. With the players we brought in during the summer, it’s an ambition of ours. It’s something we will certainly push for.
