More than five weeks after Tony Mowbray was fired, West Brom supporters are anxiously awaiting word on a new head coach.
In the last 25 years, Mowbray was the 14th manager Albion had fired, and the 18th manager to take over the team in the previous 25 years.
What can the new Albion manager anticipate in terms of tenure when he takes over in the Hawthorns hotseat, given that the search is reportedly nearing its end
Gary Megson, who managed 221 games, was the longest-serving Baggies manager to be fired. Tony Pulis, who managed 121 games before being fired, came in second.
Despite being a member of the management team that maintained Albion in the Premier League, Mowbray’s second spell as manager was the lowest and was matched by Pepe Mel’s lackluster 17-game tenure.
There were four managers that left during this time without being fired.
Later, Carlos Corberan left the team after managing just over 100 games, and Sam Allardyce resigned on his own initiative after the team was relegated from the first flight.
However, how long do fired managers stay in their positions?
Since 2000, when Brian Little was fired and Megson took charge, West Brom managers have played an average of 61 games.
That means a manager must work for just over a season and a half before they are let go.
