"West Bromwich Albion have parted company with men's first team head coach Eric Ramsay. Assistant head coach Dennis Lawrence has also departed the Hawthorns. First-team coach James Morrison will oversee first-team affairs on an interim basis. The club would like to place on record its thanks to Eric and Dennis and wishes them well for the future."
"Ramsay's 44-day stint set a new club record for the shortest permanent managerial reign in West Brom's history, surpassing the previous record of 17 games held by Pepe Mel and Tony Mowbray."
"The former Manchester United coach had made the step up from Minnesota United in MLS to become the Albion head coach but could not inspire his side to victory in his eight league matches and saw West Brom knocked out of the FA Cup by Norwich City."
West Bromwich Albion terminated Eric Ramsay's employment as head coach after just 44 days in charge, making it the shortest permanent managerial reign in club history. The 34-year-old, appointed on a two-and-a-half-year contract in January, failed to secure any victories across nine matches. Following a 1-1 home draw with Charlton in the Championship, with West Brom sitting 21st and near the relegation zone, the team was booed off the pitch. Ramsay and assistant Dennis Lawrence were subsequently dismissed. James Morrison assumed interim first-team responsibilities. Ramsay's tenure surpassed the previous shortest record of 17 games held by Pepe Mel and Tony Mowbray.
