Birmingham City are eyeing further progress in the Championship this season, and manager Chris Davies believes a tactical rethink could be the key to pushing the ambitious club towards promotion, according to Sky Sports.
Speaking to Adam Bate, Davies reflected on a season of consolidation in 2025/26 following the Blues' return to the second tier, but stressed that standing still isn't part of the plan for 2026/27. The Birmingham boss outlined how he's shifting his approach tactically, suggesting the adjustments could unlock the next level for a club with genuine top-flight aspirations.
While specifics of the tactical overhaul weren't detailed, Davies' comments point to a manager keen to evolve his methods rather than rely on last season's stability alone. With Birmingham's ownership having made no secret of their long-term ambitions, the pressure is on Davies to translate ideas into results as the Blues look to close the gap on the Championship's top tier and push for a return to English football's elite.
