Blackburn Rovers appoint Tony Mowbray as their new head coach for a second spell in charge.
Blackburn Rovers have appointed Tony Mowbray as their new head coach for a second spell in charge. He replaces Michael O'Neill whoon a permanent basis following an interim role during the second half of last season.
Mowbray has been in management for more than two decades and most recently led Sunderland, Birmingham and West Brom after his first spell at Blackburn ended. When he took over at Ewood Park initially in February 2017 he could not save Rovers from relegation to League One, but then won promotion back to the Championship in his first full campaign in charge.
After re-establishing them in the second tier, Mowbray left at the end of the 2021-22 season and was replaced by Jon Dahl Tomasson. They hovered around the relegation places for much of the year andO'Neill managed to keep them up as they finished 20th in the Championship and five points above the drop zone.
Blackburn said Mowbray would "lead a new chapter for the club" and brings "a wealth of experience, strong footballing principles and a clear understanding of the club's identity and ambitions".
