Wayne Rooney said it was a ‘really easy decision’ to join Birmingham City as he was unveiled as the Championship club’s new manager. The former England captain has been appointed Blues boss on a three-and-a-half year deal after leaving DC United at the weekend. ‘Firstly to get back into English football is great, it’s what I’ve wanted to do,’ Rooney told journalists. ‘I want to be successful. It’s clear this club wants to be successful and everything we spoke about was very similar.’ He said the club was targeting a place in the Premier League. ‘It’s something we’ll certainly push for.’
