Baggies relieve boss from duties.
West Bromwich Albion have sacked manager Roberto Di Matteo and have placed him on gardening leave with instant effect.
The decision stems back from a unanimous decision between the club’s Board of Directors due to a poor run of form, having lost 13 of their last 18 games in all competitions and winning only three.
First-Team coach Michael Appleton will take charge of the managerial position until the board decide on a suitable appointment.
Chairman Jeremy Peace believes that the decision was in the club’s best interests, as they attempt to stay in the Premier League by fighting what is a very compact relegation zone.
"This has been a tough decision but we, as a Board, believe it is the right one to give the Club the best possible chance of remaining in the Barclays Premier League,” said Peace to the club’s official website.
