fired
Steven Biliic
despite Thursday's draw with
Manchester Cityand
Sam Allardyce
has said he will replace him.
The draw against City was a big surprise and Bilic showed he could get the team back on track, but the club have made their decision.
West Brom announced the dismissal on Wednesday, but Etihad Stadium announces it soon after the game.
Bilic left the club in 19
th
place in the
Premier Leaguewith seven points from 13 games and they are only two points adrift of safety.
A club statement read:
"West Bromwich Albion have today parted company with head coach Slaven Bilic.
"Assistant coaches,
Dean Racunica
and
Danilo Butorovic
, and first-team coach
Julian Dicks
have also left the club with immediate effect."
The club also thanked Bilic for leading the team to qualify for Championship last season.
They are many names to replace but it seems former England boss Allardyce is the favorite.
If he takes over as coach, this will be the fifth time he has been added to the Premier League in the mid-season as on each previous occasion, he has finished in a higher position than when he arrived.
