A report alleges that a 63-year-old individual has shown interest in the Birmingham City job.
Birmingham City’s managerial situation is uncertain as they face the prospect of League One football next season. Tony Mowbray’s absence due to medical leave has fueled speculation about his future at St. Andrew’s, with conflicting reports circulating. Caretaker manager Gary Rowett is not expected to stay on after their relegation from the Championship. The club is aware of the urgency in resolving this matter as they prepare for the upcoming 2024/25 season.
According to Football Insider, Steve Bruce has expressed interest in returning as Birmingham City manager if the position becomes available this summer. The 63-year-old, who led the club from 2001 to 2007, has signaled his openness to the role. Despite recent challenges in his managerial career, including stints at Newcastle United and West Brom, Bruce remains keen on continuing his managerial journey.
The club faces important decisions regarding Mowbray’s future, and until those are clarified, there will be uncertainty. However, Birmingham City must ensure a swift resolution to secure an immediate return to the Championship, especially with potential departures of key players looming. Recruitment efforts can only truly commence once a manager is appointed, whether it’s Mowbray, Bruce, or another candidate taking the reins at the start of the new campaign.
