West Bromwich Albion have sacked their manager Steve Clarke following a string of poor performances from the club and have placed him on " gardening leave ".
The former Chelsea assistant has been relieved from the managerial role, following the club's 1-0 away defeat to Cardiff City in the Premier League yesterday.
The Midlands club's sporting director Richard Garlick said: "We have reluctantly come to the decision to relieve Steve of his duties after very careful consideration.
"It has been well documented that we have not had the rub of the green in certain games this season but that does not cloud the generally disappointing points return during this calendar year, culminating in today's fourth-successive defeat at Cardiff "
The club's joint-assistant head coach Keith Downing is expected to assume control of the first-team, whilst the club start the search for a new manager.
West Brom are currently placed 16th in the Premier League, just two points above the drop zone.
