English second-tier club West Bromwich Albion sacked head coach Valerien Ismael on Wednesday after less than a year in charge following a series of poor results.

West Brom have won once in their last eight games in all competitions and sit fifth in the Championship on 45 points after 29 matches, eight points adrift of the second automatic promotion spot.
