Alex McLeish currently manages Birmingham City FC in the Premier League. As a player he was a centre back in the Aberdeen team during its glory years under Sir Alex Ferguson in the 1980s and played 77 times for Scotland. He spent time managing Motherwell and Hibernian before moving to Rangers where he led them to two league titles, two Scottish Cup and three League Cup wins in five years. A 10-month spell as manager of the Scottish national team saw his side miss out on qualifying for the European Championships in 2008. McLeish then resigned and joined Birmingham in November 2007 but could not keep them from being relegated from the Premier League. However, the following season he led them back to the top tier of English football.
