West Bromwich Albion have sacked head coach Ryan Mason following Monday’s 2-1 defeat at Leicester City. The loss marked their 10th consecutive away defeat, leaving the Baggies 18th in the Championship table, seven points above the relegation zone and ten behind the play-off spots.
Mason, 34, had been in charge for just seven months, leaving Tottenham’s coaching staff to join West Brom on a three-year deal. Despite a strong start with three wins in their first four games, the team struggled afterward, winning only six of the next 22 league matches.
Assistant Nigel Gibbs and head of performance Sam Pooley have also left, with James Morrison stepping in as interim head coach. West Brom are set to face Swansea City in the FA Cup on Sunday, with their next league match against Middlesbrough on 16 January.
The club confirmed that the search for a permanent head coach and staff is already under way.
