West Brom have sacked Eric Ramsay after just 44 days in charge at the Hawthorns. The 34-year-old was appointed head coach on a two-and-a-half-year deal on 11 January following the departure of Ryan Mason but has failed to win any of his nine matches.

West Brom decided to make the call after they drew 1-1 with Charlton at home on Tuesday, with the Baggies languishing in 21st place in the Championship, just a point above the drop zone. Ramsay’s side were booed off after the match, with the head coach and his assistant Dennis Lawrence then summoned to meet with the club owner and chairman, Shilen Patel, in the boardroom.
