The 60-year-old initially came in following Birmingham’s nightmare Wayne Rooney experiment which took the club from play-off contention to a relegation battle they eventually lost, with Gary Rowett failing to turn things around in his interim spell.
There may have been some hope that Mowbray would resume his role this summer, but the club have since confirmed his decision to step down permanently.Reacting to the news, Birmingham City Owner and Chairman of the Board Tom Wagner told the club’s official website: “We are disappointed that Tony will not be coming back to lead the team forward but respect his decision to put his health and his family first.“In a short period of time at Blues Tony demonstrated excellent leadership skills and a work ethic that galvanised all around him. He is an outstanding human being and will always be welcome at St. Andrew’s.”
