Cotterill leads City boss race
BIRMINGHAM’S Chinese owners are stepping up their bid to replace Harry Redknapp, with an appointment likely in the next 24 hours.
Blues’ former assistant boss Steve Cotterill is favourite for the post, as ex-Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka has reservations.
Caretaker Lee Carsley, who has overseen four points from two games, is set to take charge of City for tomorrow’s trip to Hull.
But Mirror Sport understands a new man is expected to be installed for the start of the international break and a final decision is expected soon.
