Tony Mowbray takes charge of Birmingham

Birmingham City have announced Tony Mowbray is their new head coach with immediate effect.

The Championship side sacked Wayne Rooney after a disastrous few months, having previously fired John Eustace this season.

Mowbray has a tough job on his hands, as City are 20th in the Championship out of 24 teams.

They have won only two of their past 15 games, with relegation appearing a serious possibility.

Mowbray does have a lot of experience, especially in the lower leagues in England.

But he struggled at Sunderland recently, losing his job with the Black Cats on December 4th, 2023.
