Mowbray’s departure comes as Sunderland sits in ninth place in the Championship with only one win in their last five games. Last season, Mowbray led the team to the playoffs but was eliminated by Luton in the semi-finals.
Heckingbottom himself is facing uncertainty at Sheffield United, with reports suggesting he may also be sacked. The Blades have struggled in the Premier League, earning only five points from 14 games.
Despite the challenges, Heckingbottom is considered a strong candidate for the Sunderland job, with odds of 3/1. Plymouth boss Steven Schumacher follows closely at 4/1, while John Eustace (9/2) and Julien Sable (6/1) are also in the running.
