Birmingham announce Mowbray’s departure – Tribal Football

Birmingham City have confirmed that Tony Mowbray has been sacked as manager.

The veteran head coach was tasked with keeping the club now relegated to the Championship, but could not stay on the job for long due to health issues.

Birmingham, who sacked John Eustace and Wayne Rooney earlier in the season, now have to rebuild their entire squad after relegation.

Mowbray’s departure was confirmed this week, with the club saying in a statement: “Birmingham City can confirm that Tony Mowbray has informed the club of his decision to step down as men’s first team manager with immediate effect.

“Mowbray, who temporarily stepped down from his on-site management duties in February before taking official medical leave in March, has decided to focus on making a full recovery from his surgery and spending time with his family” .
