Firing season for British soccer coaches continues at West Brom with Mason ousted

Ryan Mason was dismissed after winning only seven of 26 games; James Morrison will lead West Brom temporarily amid a poor Championship run placing them 18th.

  • On Tuesday, West Brom sacked Ryan Mason and announced assistant coach James Morrison will take interim control ahead of the English League Cup third round at Swansea on Sunday.
  • With the club in the 24-team Championship, Mason had a three-year contract but struggled to meet the promotion brief, including a 2-1 defeat at Leicester City.
  • Mason's record shows he won three of his first four Championship matches but only six more in 22 outings after leaving Tottenham Hotspur last summer, where he made 70 appearances.
  • The club has opened a recruitment process for a new head coach, and James Morrison will oversee first-team affairs on an interim basis, as West Brom thanked Nigel Gibbs and Sam Pooley in a statement.
  • The sacking continues a New Year wave of dismissals as West Bromwich Albion names its fourth coach in five seasons, joining Celtic firing Wilfried Nancy Monday and Chelsea dismissing Enzo Maresca on New Year's Day.
