Garry Monk's first match as Birmingham City manager will come against his former team Middlesbrough on Tuesday.

Birmingham City have appointed Garry Monk as their manager on a three-and-a-half-year contract.

Monk, who had been without a club since being sacked by Middlesbrough in December, replaces Steve Cotterill, who was relieved of his duties following Saturday's 2-1 loss at Nottingham Forest.

Birmingham are 22nd in the Championship, two points adrift of Barnsley, who have played one game fewer.
