LONDON, April 22 — West Brom yesterday sacked manager Tony Mowbray after a 3-1 Championship defeat at home to relegation-threatened Derby all but ended their hopes of promotion to the Premier League.

The loss left West Brom 10th in the second tier following five defeats in six games and the club confirmed Mowbray’s departure hours after the final whistle, with assistant head coach Mark Venus also exiting.
