Birmingham City have appointed Wigan Athletic coach Tom Huddlestone as a new assistant coach to boss Chris Davies.
The 37-year-old former Derby County, Tottenham Hotspur, Wolves, Hull City and England midfielder moves on from Wigan, barely two months after arriving.
He succeeds Ashley Cole, who this week took up a full-time role with England, working under the interim England manager, boyhood Blues fan and former caretaker boss Lee Carsley.
Huddlestone will work alongside manager Davies, assistant manager Ben Petty and first-team assistant manager Nathan Gardiner.
“Tom is an excellent coach and a great addition to our first-team staff as we look to build on our start to the 2024-25 season,” said Davies.
Birmingham sit second in League One, level on points with leaders Wrexham but having played a game less, ahead of Saturday’s trip to Rotherham United.
