Championship's longest-serving managers after Sunderland and Rotherham become latest to sack bosses - gallery

Tony Mowbray had been one of the league's longest standing managers before he was given the sack by Sunderland this week.

The ever-turning carousel of Championship managers continues this season with Sunderland the latest club to part ways with their boss after sacking Tony Mowbray this week.

The 60-year-old led the Black Cats into the play-offs last season but just two wins in their last nine league games proved enough for the bigwigs at Sunderland to decide change was needed. Mowbray had spent 15 months on Wearside, making him one of the division's longest-serving managers.

With so much managerial change in the Championship so far this term, the Sunderland Echo looks at which bosses have managed to hold their positions for the longest time.
