Following Tony Mowbray’s decision to resign as manager of Birmingham City, the Blues are allegedly about to begin negotiations with a possible successor.
Manager news for Birmingham
The 60-year-old took over after Birmingham’s disastrous experiment with Wayne Rooney, which saw the team go from being in the play-offs to a relegation battle they ultimately lost. Gary Rowett was unable to turn things around during his temporary tenure.
While there was some expectation that Mowbray might return to his position this summer, the club has now acknowledged his decision to take a permanent step down.
Owner and board chairman of Birmingham City Tom Wagner responded to the news by saying on the team’s official website: “We are disappointed that Tony will not be returning to lead the team forward, but we understand his decision to prioritize his health and his family.”
“During his brief tenure at Blues, Tony quickly showed off his exceptional leadership abilities and a work ethic that inspired everyone around him. He is a wonderful person, and St. Andrew’s will always be happy to have him.”

Paul Heckingbottom vs Birmingham City (via Transfermarkt) |
---|
16/17 – Birmingham 0-3 Barnsley |
16/17 – Barnsley 2-2 Birmingham |
17/18 – Barnsley 2-0 Birmingham |
21/22 – Birmingham 1-2 Sheffield United |
22/23 – Sheffield United 1-1 Birmingham |
22/23 – Birmingham 1-2 Sheffield United |
Heckingbottom will want to hang onto this three-game winning streak in Birmingham as long as possible, especially if he takes over in the St Andrew’s dugout this summer.
At the club, the 46-year-old definitely checks a lot of boxes as they try to make up for lost time and make their next appointment go well. This is a good match because Heckingbottom, who left Sheffield United early in the campaign, is currently searching for his next position.
