West Brom SACK Tony Mowbray after shambolic end-of-season collapse ex-Premier League star, 38, becomes interim manager
WEST BROM have sacked Tony Mowbray just two games from the end of the season after a disastrous run of results.
The 61-year-old’s second spell in charge at the Hawthorns has lasted just three months.

Mowbray re-joined West Brom in January, 16 years after first leaving the club as boss Carlos Coberan quit for Valencia.
But the veteran manager, who battled bowel cancer last year, has had a nightmare time back at the Baggies, overseeing just five wins in 17 matches.
Poor form with just one victory from their last eight games has seen West Brom fall out of the play-off positions to tenth.
And a 3-1 home defeat to relegation-threatened Derby proved to be the final straw for Mowbray.
A club statement read: “West Bromwich Albion have today parted company with head coach Tony Mowbray.
“Assistant head coach Mark Venus has also departed the club.
“The club would like to place on record its thanks to Tony and Mark for their efforts – but has made the decision to part company following a series of poor results.
“Tony and Mark will forever be welcome at The Hawthorns and their contributions to the club winning the 2007/08 Championship title will never be forgotten.
“Everyone at Albion wishes Tony and Mark all the very best in the future.”
Former West Brom star James Morrison will take over until the end of the season.
He will be assisted by Damia Abella and ex-Baggies keeper Boaz Myhill.
Morrison, 38, played 341 times for the club as a player and has been coaching at the club since retiring.
