West Brom sack boss after just 44 DAYS with Baggies staring down barrel of relegation

West Bromwich Albion has dismissed head coach Eric Ramsay after only 44 days and nine games without a victory, further jeopardizing their chances of avoiding relegation.

West Bromwich Albion has experienced a tumultuous period in their coaching staff, having recently sacked Eric Ramsay just 44 days into his tenure. Ramsay, who was appointed after leaving his position at Minnesota United, struggled to find success with the Baggies, not winning any of the nine matches he oversaw. His appointment was a last-ditch effort to revive the team’s fortunes, but the club finds itself sliding further down the league table, now positioned precariously just above the relegation zone.

Ramsay's stint is noted not only for its brevity but also for the significant pressure that comes with managing in an intense football environment. After replacing Ryan Mason, Ramsay was unable to rectify the team’s downward trajectory, which has seen West Brom drop from 18th to 21st place following a disappointing draw with Charlton. The continuous revolving door at the managerial position raises questions about the stability and long-term vision of the club's leadership, as they now seek a fourth manager in just over a year.

The club issued a statement confirming the decision and reflecting the urgency of the situation they find themselves in. With relegation looming, West Brom must act quickly to appoint a new manager who can reverse their fortunes and instill confidence both in the players and fans. Failure to secure competent leadership could result in a further decline, potentially leading to relegation from the Championship.
