West Bromwich Albion have dismissed Alan Irvine as their manager with immediate effect following a poor run of results.
Irvine succeeded Steve Clark in the summer on a 12-month contract.
The Midland club say it is a matter of “regret but necessity” to part ways with Irvine, who has only managed four wins out of seventeen matches, having lost seven of their last nine Premier League matches. They hope to name a new manager by the weekend.
Backroom Coaches Rob Kelly and Keith Downing will be in charge of the side’s New Year’s Day’s trip to West Ham.
Albion’s Technical Director Terry Burton said: “Alan has impressed everyone with his manner, dedication and diligence but he knows that results have simply not been good enough.
“We place on record our gratitude for his efforts and hold nothing but good wishes for his future endeavours. This was a decision taken with regret but sadly driven by necessity.”
Ex-Tottenham Hotspur manager Tim Sherwood and former Crystal Palace bosses Tony Pulis and Neil Warnock are favourite for the new Albion role, with former Porto boss Victor Pereira, former Albion player Martin Jol and MK Dons manager Karl Robinson also vacant linked with the role.
