The former Middlesbrough man’s first game in charge at the club came against Rotherham at the Stadium of Light in the Championship on August 31 2020 in front of a big crowd on Wearside.
Mowbray made a winning start to life as Sunderland boss as his team ended Rotherham Unuted’s unbeaten start to the season with a 3-0 win with two goals from Ross Stewart and another from Jack Clarke.
Here, though, we take a look at Tony Mowbray’s starting XI and squad over a year ago and look at where they are now:
