West Bromwich Albion have terminated the contract of manager Tony Pulis, after losing 0-4 to Chelsea at the Hawthorns over the weekend.
Club Chairman, John Williams said the decision to terminate Pulis’ contract is in the interest of the club.
“These decisions are never taken lightly but always in the interests of the Club.
“We are in a results business and over the back end of last season and this season to date, ours have been very disappointing.
“We would like to place on record our appreciation of Tony’s contribution and hard work during a period of transition for the Club which included a change of ownership. We wish him well in his future endeavours.”
Assistant Coach Gary Megson has agreed to take charge of first-team affairs until further notice.
Tony Pulis leaves his role with the Baggies having won just twice in their last 21 league games, with the club just a point above the relegation zone.
