Rowett will be interim manager for final eight games of seasonHe left Birmingham’s relegation rivals Millwall in October
Gary Rowett has returned to Birmingham as interim manager after Tony Mowbray was granted extended medical leave.
Mowbray succeeded Wayne Rooney at St Andrews in January, but a month later he temporarily stepped down from his role to undergo medical treatment, with a view to returning in approximately six to eight weeks. The former Sunderland manager will now be absent until the start of pre-season, paving the way for Rowett to return to the club where he had a two-year spell in charge between 2014 and 2016.
