Ex-Celtic boss appointed new Birmingham manager after Rooney sacking

Wayne Rooney, who was fired from the English Championship team after just three months in charge, is replaced by the 60-year-old.

After a string of disappointing performances earlier in the season, Mowbray was relieved of his duties at Sunderland, where he last stood in the dugout.

“I can’t wait to get back on the training pitch and start working with this talented group of players,” he stated in his first speech as Birmingham City’s manager.
My main goals are to boost their self-esteem, produce outcomes, and give Blues supporters a team they can be proud of and excited about.

“I know from personal experience how passionate Bluenoses are, home and away, and I’m looking forward to having their full support for the team starting on Saturday at home to Swansea City.”
Tom Wagner, co-owner and chairman of the Blues, said: “During our search for a new manager, Tony was the clear winner.

“His enthusiasm and understanding of the game were evident. He will provide stability at a critical juncture for our outstanding club and supports our aspirations.

“We received extremely positive feedback from everyone we spoke to about Tony.”

Chief executive Garry Cook continued, “He is the right leader for our club at the right time.” “He is aware of the requirements for success at this level.

“Tony has rightfully earned a reputation as a manager who delivers results, likes to play attractive football, and gives young players a chance.”
