New head coach Paul Lambert has been appointed at Birmingham.

The 42-year-old specialist will replace Alex McLeish, who was dismissed after an unsuccessful previous season. The team finished with just two points more than the clubs that were relegated from the English Premier League.

Since 2009, Lambert has been coaching Norwich team and led them to promotion to the elite division. In the league table, the 'Canaries' finished in 12th place.
