West Bromwich Albion have sacked head coach Ryan Mason following the club’s 2-1 defeat to Leicester City at the King Power Stadium — their 10th consecutive away loss.
The result left the Baggies 18th in the table, prompting the board to act just seven months into Mason’s three-year contract.
Key Details
- James Morrison, first-team coach, will step in as interim manager.
- Assistant head coach Nigel Gibbs and head of performance Sam Pooley have also departed.
- This marks West Brom’s second managerial sacking in nine months, after Tony Mowbray was dismissed last April.
Club Statement
West Brom confirmed the exits in a statement:
“The club would like to place on record its thanks to Ryan, Nigel and Sam for their efforts and wishes all three the very best for the future. The process of recruiting a new men’s first team Head Coach and staff is under way.”
The Bigger Picture
The Baggies’ struggles away from home have been central to their decline, with Mason unable to halt the slide. The club now faces a crucial period as they fight to avoid relegation and search for stability under new leadership.
