West Brom sack Ramsay after 44 days in charge

West Brom have sacked Eric Ramsay just 44 days after appointing him head coach.

Appointed in January to replace Ryan Mason, Ramsay made the step over from manager of Minnesota United in the MLS, but struggled during his time at The Hawthorns, failing to win any of his eight league games in charge.

The 34-year-old drew four and lost four of his Championship matches during his short stint.

"Assistant head coach Dennis Lawrence has also departed The Hawthorns.

"The club would like to place on record its thanks to Eric and Dennis and wishes them well for the future.

"First-team coach James Morrison will oversee first-team affairs on an interim basis."

West Brom sit 21st in the Championship, one point above the relegation zone.
