Birmingham City announced Monday morning that manager Tony Mowbray would be stepping down from his role after only eight games in charge.
Mowbray seemingly left his players and staff in shock when he announced in the locker room he would be taking some time away to seek medical treatment.
The 60-year-old’s illness has yet to be revealed, so the severity of his diagnosis is unclear however the club confirmed he would be stepping down as manager for at least six to eight weeks.
During his time away from the pitch, Mowbray is sure to rely on his wife of 21 years, Amber and their three sons they share together.
Amber has already helped the former football player through difficult times in the past and is sure to be the rock he leans on during his treatment.
