West Bromwich Albion have sacked manager Tony Mowbray after a 3-1 derby defeat that left them with little chance of a Championship play-off spot.
The 61-year-old was sack after Monday’s 3-1 home defeat to relegation-threatened Derby County, which ended the Baggies’ hopes of reaching the Championship play-offs.
The former Blackburn Rovers เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย and Middlesbrough boss was reappoint as Baggies manager in January, a month after leaving the club to join Celtic. In June 2009, nearly 16 years on, Mowbray replaced Carlos Corberan, who had left the club to take over at La Liga side Valencia.
The Baggies were seventh in the Championship but had won just five of their opening 18 games and were six points off the play-off places with two games to go.
While West Brom were mathematically in contention for a top-six finish, it would take an unlikely performance to give them a chance.
Mowbray’s assistant Mark Venus also left the club, with James Morrison taking charge on an interim basis, while Damia Abella and Boaz Myhill took over as assistants.
That ultimately cost the 61-year-old, with former midfielder James Morrison in temporary charge while the club search for their seventh permanent manager in under six years.
“The club would like to place on record its thanks to Tony and Mark for their efforts – but has made the decision to part company following a series of poor results,” West Brom said in a statement.
“Tony and Mark will forever be welcome at the Hawthorns, and their contributions to the club winning the 2007-08 Championship title will never be forgotten.”
