Tejedor, 50, replaces Marc Skinner, who left Blues earlier in January to take over at American side Orlando Pride.

The Spaniard has also managed Atletico Madrid and led CD Tacon to the Spanish Second Division title.

Six of the Women's Super League's 11 sides now have female bosses with Chelsea, Reading, Bristol City, Liverpool and Brighton the others.

Birmingham are fourth in the WSL table, six points behind leaders Manchester City, but lost their most recent game - Skinner's final match in charge - at home to Bristol City.

Tejedor's first game in charge of Birmingham is a trip to third-placed Chelsea - who sit three points above City - on Sunday (27 January).
