Lee Bowyer has been relieved of his duties as Birmingham City’s boss.
The club’s chief was informed his 16-month reign at St Andrew’s had come to an end after training on Saturday morning.
Bowyer was told the news after giving his final session, and then the first-team were called into an impromptu meeting and told that a change is imminent. The Blues finished one place above the relegation zone last season - finishing the campaign in 20th.
