Sometimes a manager can just click at a certain club, for me if he can get us fighting, hard to beat, ruthless and defensively strong then I'm satisfied.
1. Rowett guided Birmingham from 21st in the Championship to 10th at the end of his first season, earning many plaudits for the remarkable turnaround in form.
2. Rowett was sacked by Birmingham on 14 December 2016 upon their change of ownership and boardroom team, despite leading the team to 7th in the Championship table and challenging for a play-off place.
3. Oxford went six unbeaten matches, leading to a points return of twelve points, saw Rowett named EFL Championship Manager of the Month for January 2025.[57] Under Rowett, Oxford avoided relegation at the end of the 2024–25 season,[58] finishing in 17th place.
4. Solid Foundation: Rowett consistently kept Millwall in the top half of the Championship, with defensive solidity being the hallmark of his tenure, boasting some of the best defensive records outside the top six.
