Mowbray has found his next Jobe Bellingham in “outstanding” West Brom ace.
Although West Bromwich Albion supporters adored Carlos Corberan, he was not known for directing his teams to play the most attacking football.
Tony Mowbray, on the other hand, is notorious for encouraging his sides to play aggressively, as seen by the Baggies’ 5-1 victory over Portsmouth at the Hawthorns.
The 61-year-old might potentially find his next Jobe Bellingham with one promising kid in particular, as the 19-year-old was given his first opportunities to shine at the Stadium of Light under Mowbray’s cautious eye.
Jobe Bellingham’s performance under Mowbray
Indeed, the current Baggies boss handed Bellingham his first senior minutes on Wearside at the beginning of the 2023/24 season, and the teenager has never looked back since.
After just three appearances in the first team, the Borussia Dortmund target impressed Black Cats fans with his skill, scoring twice against Rotherham United in 2023.
Bellingham scored four of his 15 goals for Sunderland under Mowbray, who dubbed him a “diamond.”
Mowbray will strive to be as influential in his current position as he is with another rising star, about whom he has already talked eloquently.
Mowbray’s next employment was in Bellingham.
Isaac Price, only 21 years old, has already made an impression on the senior game with 16 caps for Northern Ireland.
Price will be anxious to succeed at the Hawthorns, having previously moved to Standard Liege to earn more minutes after failing to break into Everton’s first-team despite excelling in the junior setup.
Mowbray praised the 21-year-old’s “smooth” ball-playing abilities, citing his 89% pass accuracy upon full-time debut against Pompey.
