For the first time, Gary Rowett has discussed his move back to Birmingham City.
As manager Tony Mowbray takes a long leave of absence that ends in the summer, Rowett has been named Blues’ interim manager until the end of the season.With eight games remaining in the season, the team is only eight points above the relegation zone on goal differential, and since Mowbray resigned his position due to health concerns, co-owner Tom Wagner resorted to Rowett.

“I think that is the right thing to do,” he added. “I spoke with Tony about it and I wanted to make sure I had his blessing and he was part of that process.” “Everyone in the football community is hoping Tony recovers quickly.
