West Brom Sacks Coach Tony Mowbray After Poor Results

Tony Mowbray has been sacked as head coach of West Bromwich Albion just three months after returning to the club, following a series of poor results that left the team six points outside the Championship play-off positions with two games remaining. Mowbray's return had generated optimism after his recovery from bowel cancer and a previous successful stint at the club, but injuries, suspensions, and lack of suitable players hindered his ability to turn around the team's performance. West Brom won only one of their last eight games under his leadership, prompting the club to also part ways with assistant head coach Mark Venus. James Morrison has been appointed as interim manager while the club begins the search for a new head coach, with Steve Cooper emerging as the early favorite among bookmakers. The club expressed gratitude to Mowbray and Venus for their past successes, particularly their role in the 2007/08 Championship title win, and wished them well for the future. The decision reflects the club’s continued ambition to reach the play-offs and secure promotion.
