However, Rub\u00e9n Amorim was only dismissed in January. Meanwhile, the club was knocked out of the cup without him. Then Carrick returned to the project as interim manager until the summer. He started with four victories, including wins over City and Arsenal, but barely managed a draw with West Ham. After further wins against Everton and Crystal Palace, they lost to Newcastle.<\/p>\n<p>The Birmingham club played in the Champions League play-offs last spring but missed out on fifth place in the domestic league to Newcastle. As a result, the English side is now competing in the Europa League, where they started the play-offs with an away win over Lille. Domestically, they suffered early setbacks in the cups and had a tough start in the Premier League. However, they managed to climb into the top three and only slowed down closer to the end of winter, like many competitors. In the last rounds, they lost to both Wolverhampton and Chelsea.<\/p>\n<p>Matheus Cunha and his new teammates score an average of 1.76 goals but also concede 1.38 per match.
