Former Millwall coaches join Rowett at Birmingham

Former Millwall assistants Paul Robinson and Dave Carolan have joined Gary Rowett in his interim role at Birmingham City.

Rowett was announced as the Blues boss until the end of the season on Tuesday, with permanent boss Tony Mowbray being placed on a medical leave of absence until the start of the 2024-25 season.

Ex-West Brom and Birmingham defender Robinson spent three years at The Den alongside Rowett and left by mutual consent in November.

Corlan – who was head of performance and health under Rowett – left Millwall in October 2023.

He initially joined on a consultancy basis with the Lions before being handed a full-time role.

Birmingham are 21st in the Championship table and have only picked up one point from their last seven outings.

Rowett’s first game in charge will be against QPR after the international break.

First team coaches, Ashley Cole and Peter Shuttleworth, and goalkeeper coach, Maik Taylor, will remain at the club as part of Rowett’s coaching staff.
