West Bromwich Albion head coach Ryan Mason has been sacked by the Championship club following Monday's defeat at Leicester City. The 2-1 loss was their 10th successive away defeat and left the Baggies 18th in the table, 10 points adrift of the play-off places. Mason's assistant Nigel Gibbs and head of performance Sam Pooley have also left the club, with first-team coach James Morrison taking charge on an interim basis. West Brom are away to Swansea City in the FA Cup on Sunday and do not have another league fixture until Middlesbrough visit The Hawthorns on 16 January. "The process of recruiting a new men's first team head coach and staff is under way," the club said in a brief statement announcing Mason's departure.
