New favourite emerges in the race to become next Birmingham City manager

Warnock, who has managed Sheffield United, Crystal Palace, QPR and Cardiff City among others, left the latter earlier this season in what he insisted would be his last in professional football



Veteran manager Neil Warnock is the new favourite with bookmakers Sky Bet to become the new Birmingham City boss.


Warnock, who has managed Sheffield United, Crystal Palace, QPR and Cardiff City among others, left the latter earlier this season in what he insisted would be his last in professional football.

The Yorkshireman has, though, prematurely called time on his career previously before being tempted back into management when offers have arisen.

Indeed back in October 2013, he was linked with a role as director of football at Blues - a job that didn’t exist!


Blues have begun the recruitment process in their search for a successor to Pep Clotet who will be vacating the post at the end of the season, the club confirmed on Monday.

To date, Trillion Trophy Asia’s managerial appointments have been unpredictable; they’ve opted for left-field signings like Steve Cotterill and Gianfranco Zola - indeed, Clotet himself perhaps drops into this category.

They’ve gone for the tried and tested, too - namely Harry Redknapp.

Wish him nothing but good luck (save two games a season) :ayatollah:

Could be a good fit until the end of the season before any decision on next...

That way Birmingham's owners will get to see what the guy can do and the impoverished supporters will finally get to see a real manager at work at St Andrews ;) :laughing6:

Good luck to him, he will go down as one of the greats here.

Don't think any other manager could have got the club and fans going the right way gain after the rebrand nonsense.

Good luck to him if he takes the job. Personally I'm not sure he will as he was obviously badly affected by the death of Emiliano Sala and seemed to lose heart and inspiration for football in general.

But of course you never know.

I thought Warnock said Cardiff would be his last job? Can’t believe anything that guy said!
