Birmingham City are expected to sack Wayne Rooney today, after Monday's 3-0 defeat at Leeds United, Sky Sports News can confirm.
Rooney was appointed at St Andrew's on October 11 on a three-and-a-half-year deal with the club sixth in the Championship following back-to-back wins under sacked manager John Eustace.
But Rooney has seen his team lose nine of the 15 matches they've played since he took over, leaving the club in 20th place in the Championship table.
Birmingham suffered a 3-0 defeat at Leeds on New Year's Day.
The former England and Manchester United captain was the first managerial hire by new Birmingham owner Tom Wagner and his Knighthead Capital Management group, who bought the Championship club in August.

Get rid of him he has destroyed my club in such a short time. He should get a trophy for it. Absolute rubbish. The players don’t seem to have a clue and his fans of Birmingham City. You don’t know what to cheer for because if he turned it around. It means that we have to keep having him as a manager. where as if he kept on losing, it was heartbreaking to watch it every week, but at least you know he was getting nearer to the sack with each poor performance. What started as a season of help after so many years, worrying about everything and the future of the club has suddenly turned into business as usual with us, worrying about relegation, rather than progressing to the playoffs at least. I know the American owners. Don’t care about us vans in little Birmingham in England, but surely they must Care that their money has been thrown down the toilet whilst this manager is in charge. Let us hope as blues fans that the current ownership model has learned that lesson much as they did down the road at Villa Park with Steven Gerrard, and get a proper footballing man, with some experience to help turn them turn this crap around.
