Birmingham City has announced that Tony Mowbray will permanently step down from his role as manager following a period of medical leave.
Following Mowbray’s unexpected surgery and subsequent recovery, he has decided to resign to spend more time with his family. This decision leaves Birmingham City in urgent need of a new manager to lead them back to the Championship after their recent relegation to League One.
Here are three available managers that Birmingham City should consider targeting:
Liam Rosenior
Rosenior has already been linked with the vacant managerial position at Birmingham City. With Mowbray’s departure, the club is likely to intensify their pursuit of Rosenior, who was controversially sacked by Hull City after narrowly missing out on a play-off finish. Despite the dismay of Tigers fans and the surprise of outsiders, Rosenior’s appointment would be an ambitious move, signaling the club’s intent for a bright future.
Alex Neil
Neil, who previously took on a managerial role in League One with Sunderland, might be tempted to drop to the third tier again. Birmingham City’s ambitious plans could attract a Championship-caliber manager like Neil, who has a track record of achieving promotions. His experience and success could make him a valuable asset for the club’s quest to return to the Championship.
Scott Parker
Scott Parker could benefit greatly from a move to Birmingham City. While he has managed in the Premier League and Belgian top-flight, some still question his abilities, noting that his biggest successes at Fulham and Bournemouth came with significant financial backing. At Birmingham, Parker would have the opportunity to prove himself by leading the club from League One back to the Championship. A stint in a lower league could be just what he needs after his struggles with Club Brugge in Belgium.
