Pulis in West Brom frame
Print Edition
TONY Pulis and Tim Sherwood are in talks with West Bromwich Albion about succeeding sacked manager Alan Irvine, according to media reports yesterday.
West Brom announced on Monday that it had sacked Irvine after a run of seven defeats in nine matches that left the club in 16th place in the English Premier League table, just a point above the relegation zone.
Pulis was named the Premier League’s Manager of the Year for steering Crystal Palace away from relegation last season, but he left the club on the eve of the current campaign after falling out with chairman Steve Parish.
Sherwood, out of work since being sacked by Tottenham Hotspur in May, was interviewed by West Brom during the close season, only for the club to appoint Irvine as the successor to Spaniard Pepe Mel.
The BBC said that Sherwood, 45, and Welshman Pulis, 56, were in talks with West Brom.
West Brom announced Irvine’s exit in a statement that read: “Irvine leaves the club with immediate effect and has been placed on gardening leave.”
Assistant head coach Rob Kelly will take charge of the team for their New Year’s Day game at West Ham United.
Irvine, 56, was the second Premier League manager to be sacked this season following Neil Warnock’s dismissal by Palace on Saturday.
