Oxford United boss Gary Rowett says he is delighted to see West Bromwich Albion head coach Tony Mowbray back on the touchline ahead of the two sides meeting on Saturday.
Rowett replaced Mowbray as Birmingham City head coach last March whilst Mowbray received treatment for bowel cancer.
After being given the all-clear, Mowbray was reappointed Albion boss in January following the departure of Carlos Corberan to Valencia.
"Its great to see Tony back," Rowett told BBC Radio Oxford.
"I obviously followed Tony at Birmingham and I think it shows how much everyone respects him that everyone is pleased for him to come back.
