What happened
West Bromwich Albion has parted ways with head coach Eric Ramsay following a disappointing 1-1 draw against Charlton Athletic. This result left the team just one point above the Championship relegation zone. Ramsay’s tenure lasted only 44 days, during which he failed to secure a victory in eight league matches, accumulating just four points out of a possible 24.
Why it matters
The decision to sack Ramsay comes after mounting pressure from fans, particularly following a 3-0 defeat at Portsmouth and a 2-0 loss to Coventry City, where supporters expressed their dissatisfaction vocally. The club’s current position, fourth from bottom in the league with only 12 games remaining, raises concerns about their ability to avoid relegation.
What’s next
In the wake of Ramsay’s departure, first-team coach James Morrison will take interim charge for the second time this season, starting with an important match against relegation rivals Oxford. The club has thanked Ramsay and assistant coach Dennis Lawrence for their contributions and is now looking for a new head coach to steer the team away from the relegation zone.
