Eric Ramsay sacked: West Brom part company with boss after failing to win in eight league games

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.

His Baggies side were also knocked out of the FA Cup after they lost at Norwich.

A statement released after Tuesday night's 1-1 draw with Charlton said: "West Bromwich Albion have parted company with men's first-team head coach Eric Ramsay.

"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.

Eric Ramsay speaking after West Brom's 1-1 draw with Charlton:

"We're not talking about this performance in isolation - we are adding this to multiple draws, not enough wins and not enough getting over the line so it has the feeling of a step backwards.

"I know what this situation needs at the moment - it needs wins, it doesn't need draws.

"The number of chances were enough to win the game but it wasn't good enough.

"We are lacking a real spark and quality in front of goal.

"I am not sat here on the back of five losses where the team has not been competitive.

"Over the last four league games, the team has been competitive, it's fighting and I don't feel there's a lack of connection between me and the team."
