John Eustace To Manager Birmingham

A former Hereford United player has been appointed manager of Birmingham City.

John Eustace has taken over from Lee Bowyer who was sacked yesterday. He's agreed a three year deal.

Eustace came to Edgar Street on loan from Stoke in October 2006 as part of a recovery plan following a serious knee injury. He played eight games for the Bulls before being re-called.
