Birmingham City appoints Tony Mowbray as manager in bid to reverse fortunes

Posted : 08 January 2024

Birmingham City swiftly appointed Tony Mowbray as their latest manager, securing him on a two-and-a-half-year contract just days after parting ways with Wayne Rooney.

 

The 60-year-old, previously dismissed from Sunderland in early December, steps into the role amidst the club's managerial upheaval, becoming the third manager this season after John Eustace's controversial departure in October.

 

The team's descent to 20th place in the Championship, six points above relegation, prompted this swift change.

 

Mowbray enters with the team under caretaker leadership, drawing 1-1 against Hull City in the FA Cup third round, missing a chance for a morale-boosting victory with an 87th-minute equalizer.

 

Now accompanied by his long-time assistant Mark Venus, Mowbray gears up for his first games at home. The upcoming match against Swansea City and the cup replay against Hull offer immediate challenges for the newly appointed manager.

 

Birmingham's recent history shows a rapid turnover in managers, with Mowbray marking the 13th manager in 13 seasons.

 

Despite the instability, the club, once a Premier League staple, remains determined to reclaim their former glory.

 

The recent ownership change spearheaded by Tom Brady and Tom Wagner has infused fresh hope and ambition, hinting at a promising future for the club as they strive to ascend back to the top flight.
