West Brom 1-3 West Ham: I'm not long term - Allardyce on West Brom departureSam Allardyce will leave his role as West Brom manager at the end of the season. The former Bolton, Newcastle, West Ham, Sunderland and England boss succeeded the sacked Slaven Bilic at West Brom on an 18-month contract in December. He said: "West Bromwich Albion made me a generous offer to stay at The Hawthorns that shows the commitment of an ambitious club. West Brom technical director Luke Dowling said the club had "very much hoped to have Sam in charge for next season and beyond". The news came as a surprise to the West Brom squad, as defender Kyle Bartley explained Allardyce only told the players when they returned to the dressing room at full-time.
