Wayne Rooney Specials aplenty with Sky Bet as Birmingham City name England legend as their new manager

It's official - Wayne Rooney is the new manager of Championship club Birmingham City.

The former England and Manchester United legend became the front-runner for the job after he left his role as manager of Major League Soccer's (MLS) DC United over the weekend.

Rooney's decision to throw his hat in the ring for the Birmingham gig comes hot-on-the-heels of former Blues manager John Eustace's sacking last week - who was let go despite guiding his team to sixth on the Championship table at the time of writing.

40/1 for Birmingham City to win their first three Championship fixtures under Wayne Rooney

However, with Rooney now the top man, there's guaranteed to be added interest and scrutiny surrounding how the midlands club fares for the remainder of the season and beyond.

Given the increased interest, Sky Bet are offering multiple 'Wayne Rooney Specials' that include a variety of bets with short and long odds.

The first bet we will be taking a look at is Sky Bet's 'Price Boost', which is 'Birmingham to be in the Championship Top Six on December 25, 2023'.
