West Brom manager fired after Premier League losses

The manager of West Bromwich has been sacked with "immediate effect", following consecutive losses in the Premier League.

In a statement on their website, the club said tonight:

Albion have won only seven of their 34 Barclays Premier League games during the calendar year – a 20 per cent win percentage yielding a total of only 31 points – despite a substantial investment in the first-team squad.

Joint-Assistant Head Coach Keith Downing will assume control of first-team affairs whilst the Club considers all available options for a new Head Coach.
