Melchiot, who previously played as a right back for Birmingham City from 2004 to 2006, making 67 appearances, believes that the team can see significant improvements under Tony Mowbray’s management, despite the challenges faced during Wayne Rooney’s tenure.
Melchiot, speaking exclusively to Ladbrokes Fanzone, acknowledged the spotlight on Rooney due to his iconic status but noted that the team’s performance deteriorated under his management. However, he expressed confidence in Mowbray’s ability to reverse the current situation.
