West Bromwich Albion have parted company with manager Darren Moore following Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town.

The result leaves the Baggies fourth in the Championship and nine points off the automatic promotion spots.

“This has been an enormously difficult decision for the club,” chief executive Mark Jenkins said in a statement.

“After discussions with our owners, the difficult decision to make a change was taken. Darren’s dedication over the last 12 months is not underestimated and there will always be a welcome for him at the Hawthorns.

“But we have to place the club’s best interests at the forefront of our thinking and we must do everything we can to try to deliver the promotion we have targeted.”

Moore took over at the Hawthorns from Alan Pardew in April 2018 but despite a valiant late rally, the former defender was unable to prevent the club’s relegation from the Premier League.

Moore’s assistants Graeme Jones and Wayne Jacobs have also left the club and first team coach James Shan is expected to take over on a temporary basis.
