West Bromwich Albion Sacks Manager Carlos Corberan After Poor Run of Form

Birmingham. English Championship club West Bromwich Albion has sacked manager Erik ten Hag just two months into his appointment following their continued poor performance. The management decided to remove the 34-year-old ten Hag when the club was just one point above the relegation zone.

He joined The Hawthorns on January 11 on a two-and-a-half-year contract, replacing Ryan Mason. When ten Hag took charge, West Brom was in 18th place in the table, seven points clear of the relegation zone. However, the club failed to secure a win in any of the nine matches played under his leadership.

His final match was a 1-1 draw at home against Charlton on Tuesday. The club confirmed in a statement that the partnership with both ten Hag and assistant manager Dennis Lawrence has ended. Coach James Morrison will take interim charge of the team until a new arrangement is made.

For ten Hag, who gained recognition after leading Minnesota United to the Conference Play-Off semi-finals twice in Major League Soccer in the United States, the journey at West Brom proved very difficult. Speaking to the BBC before his sacking, ten Hag stated that he could not decide his future but had given his hundred percent effort.

Following Carlos Corberan's move to Valencia and Tony Mowbray's sacking, West Brom will have to search for its fourth manager in the last 14 months.
