Mowbray New Blackburn Boss - Ipswich Town News
Former Town skipper and coach Tony Mowbray has been named the new head coach of Championship strugglers Blackburn Rovers, whose previous boss Owen Coyle departed by mutual consent yesterday.
Mowbray, who resigned as Coventry manager in September after 18 months with the Sky Blues and has also been in charge at Hibernian, West Brom, Celtic and Middlesbrough, has agreed an 18-month contract at Ewood Park.
The 53-year-old former centre-half’s assistant manager at Rovers will be ex-Town striker David Lowe, a long-term member of the Lancashire club’s backroom staff having most recently been their head of academy coaching.
Blackburn are currently second-bottom of the Championship but only three points - plus a significant goal difference - from safety.
