Birmingham fans react to Zola’s resignation on Twitter

Championship side Birmingham City announced today that manager Gianfranco Zola had resigned following the club’s 0-2 home defeat to Burton Albion.

Zola was appointed back in December with the club seventh in the Championship following the sacking of Gary Rowett.  However, after only two wins in 23 games, Birmingham now sit 20th in the league and are only three points away from the relegation zone.

Birmingham fans had been calling for Zola to be sacked for months, but the club’s owners chose to stick by their manager.  It appears that Zola decided to take matters into his own hands today and chose to resign, with growing fan unrest.
