Mowbray's Baggies backroom boys at Boro

Tony Mowbray's first press conference ahead of his first game back in charge of West Bromwich Albion ranged from his love of chocolate to his love of Middlesbrough, who the Baggies face on Tuesday night.

The 61-year-old, who was first in charge of the Baggies from 2006 to 2009, watched from the stand as Albion drew 1-1 with Stoke City at The Hawthorns on Saturday.

Now he takes charge for the first time since his return back in his native Boro, with his number two Mark Venus alongside him as per usual, as has been the case at every club he has managed.

Caretaker boss Chris Brunt, who led Albion's three-man caretaker management team for six matches after Carlos Corberan left on Christmas Eve, returns to his role as lead tactical scout and loans manager.

But Brunt's old Baggies team-mate James Morrison, also first signed for Albion by Mowbray in 2007, has become the new first-team coach.

And Mowbray has retained two of Corberan's old backroom team, goalkeeper coach Boaz Myhill and first-team statistical analyst Damia Abella.

Albion are still without top scorer Josh Maja and long-time injury absentee Daryl Dike - but Mowbray's main overall message to his players (and the fans) is to go out there and have some impact at the top end of the Championship table.
