What exactly is Tony Mowbray all about?
Tony Mowbray was an English footballer best known for his defensive abilities while playing professional for Middlesbrough Celtic and Ipswich Town during his professional career from 1982 onwards. Mowbray began his professional footballing journey when Middlesbrough called him up from their youth academy as their captain on November 22, 1963 in Saltburn. He first entered professional football three years later at Ipswich. He would return home in 1989.
Mowbray began transitioning into management shortly after retiring as an active player; initially coaching at Ipswich Town before taking his first managerial post with Hibernian FC of Scotland’s Premier League where his inaugural season earned recognition from Scottish Football Writers Association as their Manager of The Year! Following that stint he moved West Bromwich Albion where under his direction they won their Football League Championship that same year!
Mowbray first managed Middlesbrough before leaving to become Celtic manager, before taking over at Blackburn Rovers after they had been relegated from Championship into League 1. Mowbray quickly established himself by producing excellent results both domestic and league cup competitions.
Mowbray took charge as Sunderland head coach on August 20, 2022.
