Eric Ramsay, the former Manchester United coach, has been dismissed by West Bromwich Albion after only nine matches in charge, during which he failed to secure a single victory. His appointment came following the departure of ex-Tottenham and England midfielder Ryan Mason. Ramsay’s short tenure has been marked by underperformance, culminating in a disappointing draw against Charlton Athletic, which ultimately led to his exit from the club.

The club announced Ramsay's sacking in a brief statement, which also noted the departure of his assistant, Dennis Lawrence. The announcement was made late on Tuesday evening, demonstrating the urgency and seriousness of the situation given the club's poor performance in the Championship. Ramsay’s history as a coach under notable figures at Manchester United, such as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Erik ten Hag, did not translate into success in his first managerial role.

This swift decision by West Bromwich Albion highlights the pressures faced in lower league football, where results are paramount. The club’s management has expressed gratitude for the contributions of Ramsay and Lawrence, wishing them well moving forward. As the club seeks to improve its position in the Championship, questions will arise about who will take over the managerial responsibilities and what direction they will take to revitalize the team’s performance on the pitch.
