EX-SUNDERLAND and Middlesbrough manager Tony Mowbray is “getting stronger” following surgery, his assistant manager Mark Venus has revealed.
Ten days ago, Mowbray, 60, took a temporary leave of absence from his position as Birmingham City manager in order to receive treatment for an undisclosed medical problem. At a press conference on Thursday, Venus provided a favourable update.
Venus remarked, “To be honest, I’ve talked to him every day. A brief update: everything is good after his operation.
“He’s strengthening up, so maybe he’s headed back.” It’s been pleasant to hear him and speak with him, albeit I won’t say anything right away. It has bolstered our confidence a little.
He provided a brief update to the boys this morning (Thursday). They kept asking, all of them. We’re keeping everyone informed about it. He is growing more powerful.
Prior to Birmingham’s 3-1 loss at Ipswich last week, which left them three points above the Sky Bet Championship‘s relegation zone in 18th place, Venus was given temporary leadership.
After Wayne Rooney left the Blues in January, Mowbray was named manager. In his eight games in all competitions, he won four, lost three, and drew one.
A 2-1 victory over his old team Sunderland, who fired Mowbray in December, marked his final game in charge.
Over the past week, fans of Sunderland and Middlesbrough have showed their support for Mowbray. for last Saturday’s match against Swansea City, Sunderland supporters sang their previous manager’s name, while Boro supporters held up a “Get well soon Mogga” banner at the Riverside for the match against Plymouth.
