In a statement, Birmingham’s CEO Garry Cook acknowledged that Rooney’s appointment “did not go as planned,” leading to the decision to part ways with the former Manchester United striker.

Motivated by this unexpected opportunity, Oluwatise wasted no time and promptly applied for the job. To her delight, she received a prompt response and found herself attending an interview within a week. Demonstrating her capabilities she successfully secured the position, which remarkably allowed her to work remotely. Oluwatise wrote; “I always tell ppl to be extroverted and not stuck up. The job I’ve been working for the past seven months came from an Uber driver. I was sitting in his car talking with him and complained about being a broke college kid and he offered me a job that I wasn’t even qualified for. It literally was remote and everything. Turns out he was the senior manager at the company and they had just stopped hiring but he got them to reopen the link for me, interview me and get me hired within a week.“ See below; I always tell ppl to be extroverted and not stuck up.

Lady leaks chat with hiring manager who asked her to come over

A lady has leaked her chat with a job hiring manager who asked her to come over to his crib before getting selected for the job. While sharing the screenshots via Twitter, Fosuwaah said she couldn’t get the job because she refused to oblige his request. She lamented over the situation and recounted how she had heard it severally but didn’t think she would experience it first-hand. “Dear Hiring manager, if I don’t come to “your crib” I won’t get the job right? 😂😂 this is really absurd. I’ve heard people say it but experiencing it is something else”, she wrote. Netizens have stormed her comments section to share their thoughts about the situation. While many lambasted the hiring manager for making such an inappropriate request, others insisted that she wouldn’t have leaked the conversation on Twitter. Addressing those who said she should have kept it secret, she said: “You all keep saying I should expose him and what not. But what is the guarantee that anything is going to change or something is really going to be done about it? People will just come on here, throw insults and call names and that’ll be it.

Luis Enrique has emerged as the leading candidate to replace Christophe Galtier as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) head coach. The Ligue 1 champions have decided to part ways with Christophe Galtier after just one season, despite the Frenchman delivering top-flight and Trophee des Champions success to the club. Galtier left Nice to take charge of Les Parisiens, but he was unable to break their Champions League hoodoo, overseeing a last-16 exit at the hands of Bayern Munich.

While there are still a few details to be finalised, PSG are confident of getting a deal over the line and are hopeful of announcing Enrique as their new head coach at some point this week. The Ligue 1 holders had considered several top coaches for the role, including former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann, who was at one stage thought to have been leading the race for the job. Nagelsmann is believed to have held positive talks with PSG chiefs based in Doha, but the German subsequently pulled out of the race after failing to agree on key details with the capital club.

His style of play has been key and he would know how to deal with the heavyweights in the dressing room. The Ligue 1 side has decided to accept the conditions that he has asked of them, aware that time is running out with only a few weeks to go before pre-season. Luis Enrique’s last experience was with the Spain national team, which he led to a Nations League final and the semi-finals of the European Championship. Despite having attracted interest from big clubs, including Napoli and Chelsea, the Gijón native had given himself time to consider offers, with PSG being the most concrete and the one he could end up accepting.
