What happened?
West Bromwich Albion has sacked head coach Eric Ramsay after only 44 days in charge, following a disappointing run of results. Ramsay, who was appointed on a two-and-a-half-year deal on January 11, failed to secure a victory in any of his nine matches, leaving the team in 21st place in the Championship, just one point above the relegation zone.
Why it matters
The decision to part ways with Ramsay came after a 1-1 draw against Charlton Athletic, where the team was booed off the pitch. Ramsay’s tenure set a new club record for the shortest permanent managerial reign in West Brom’s history, surpassing the previous record of 17 games held by Pepe Mel and Tony Mowbray. The club’s statement expressed gratitude towards Ramsay and his assistant, Dennis Lawrence, who also departed the club.
What’s next?
James Morrison, the first-team coach, has been appointed to oversee first-team affairs on an interim basis. The club will now look for a new head coach to guide the team as they aim to improve their standing in the league and avoid relegation.
