West Bromwich Albion sack Tony Pulis as head coach after poor run of form

West Bromwich Albion have announced that they have dismissed Tony Pulis from his role as head coach of the club.

The 59-year-old has left his position at The Hawthorns after just two wins in his last 21 Premier League games following Saturday's 4-0 defeat to Chelsea.

West Brom are just a point and a place above the relegation zone after an 11-game winless run in all competitions.

Baggies assistant head coach Gary Megson -- a former manager of the club between 2000 and 2004 -- will take charge of first-team affairs until further notice.

A club statement read: "West Bromwich Albion have today terminated the contract of head coach Tony Pulis."
