West Brom Fires Eric Ramsay After Nine Games Amid Relegation Fears
West Bromwich Albion have made a dramatic and decisive move, parting ways with head coach Eric Ramsay after just nine games in charge. The 34-year-old’s brief tenure, which began in January, came to an end following a 1-1 draw with Charlton, leaving the club teetering perilously just one point above the Championship relegation zone.
Ramsay, who previously managed Minnesota United in the MLS and served as a first-team coach at Manchester United, stepped into a challenging role with West Brom in the middle of a turbulent season. He inherited a side 18th in the table, seven points clear of the drop, but unfortunately failed to find the winning formula. Under his guidance, the team secured only four points from eight league games and suffered heavy defeats, including a 5-0 loss to Norwich—the club’s largest home defeat outside the top flight.

Despite showing flashes of competitiveness in draws against Derby, Stoke and Birmingham, Ramsay’s side struggled to convert chances into victories. The team’s inconsistent performances and inability to finish games decisively ultimately left the club’s management with little choice but to make a change. Assistant head coach Dennis Lawrence also departed and first-team coach James Morrison has been appointed to oversee affairs on an interim basis as West Brom looks to stabilize.
This marks the fourth managerial change in just over a year for the Baggies. Previous departures include Carlos Corberan’s move to Valencia and Tony Mowbray’s sacking last season, underscoring the club’s ongoing search for stability. Ramsay himself acknowledged the challenges, saying he did everything within his control, but admitted the team lacked the spark needed to secure wins.
The implications are serious. West Brom now faces a critical stretch of fixtures against Oxford, Sheffield United, Southampton, Hull and Bristol City, with every point vital in the fight to avoid relegation. This instability could have long-term consequences, not just for the club’s league standing, but also for squad morale, fan confidence and future recruitment.
For Ramsay, it’s a reminder that even a promising coaching pedigree can be tested under pressure. His stint with Minnesota United showcased his potential, but the Championship proves to be an unforgiving arena where results are the ultimate measure.
West Brom supporters and football watchers around the world will now watch closely to see who steps in to rescue the season and whether the Baggies can turn this crisis into a fight for survival.
