Birmingham City manager latest: Serious negotiations to appoint a new coach with the EPL title
We’ve compiled the most recent information on the Blues’ management position, as they seek to make the proper decision.
Birmingham City must act quickly in their search to replace Tony Mowbray.
Blues need a new manager soon if they want to be ready for the start of the summer transfer window and the 2024/25 season.
Following their relegation, the Midlands club will be trying to return to the Championship at the earliest opportunity, and how their pre-season goes might have a significant impact on whether or not they succeed.
Choosing the correct manager will be critical, as last season shown.
The choices of Mowbray and Gary Rowett were promising on paper, and it’s a shame they didn’t work out, but the board’s decision to replace John Eustace with Wayne Rooney was never going to be popular, and it backfired spectacularly.
Rooney’s arrival proved to be a watershed event in their season, with Birmingham failing to recover from it.
They must focus on the present rather than the past, and in that spirit, we will look at the most recent news about the club’s management predicament.
Birmingham City’s Frank Lampard discusses
According to Football Insider, both Birmingham and Burnley have conducted conversations with Frank Lampard.
Lampard’s most recent managerial stint was with Chelsea, when he served as caretaker manager during the 2022/23 season before suffering a terrible second tenure at Stamford Bridge.
Despite this, reports suggest that the former England international has pleased the Blues’ hierarchy and is currently high on their shortlist.
It remains to be seen whether they will hire the former midfielder, who is now free agent.
Carlos Corberan’s reps have allegedly approached Birmingham City.
According to Football Insider, Carlos Corberan’s agents have approached Birmingham and Burnley about their management positions.
Corberan, who is now in charge of West Bromwich Albion, would have to step down a level if he moved to St Andrew’s.
This transfer is improbable, given that he has already established himself in the second tier and might draw a lot of Premier League attention in the future.
However, it has been reported that Corberan is eager to depart The Hawthorns this summer after experiencing several hurdles during his time at Albion. This allegation is made despite the fact that ownership has changed in the Midlands.
It would be a great surprise if the Spaniard moved on despite the claims.
