“The club would like to place on record its thanks to Tony and Mark for their efforts \u2013 but has made the decision to part company following a series of poor results,” a short Albion statement said.<\/p>\n
“Tony and Mark will forever be welcome at The Hawthorns and their contributions to the club winning the 2007-08 Championship title will never be forgotten.”<\/p>\n
Mowbray, who led the Baggies to the Premier League 17 years ago, had returned to management for the first time since a health scare in February 2024.<\/p>\n
That led to him stepping away from his role in charge of Birmingham City to undergo treatment for what was later revealed to be bowel cancer.<\/p>\n
He was unable to recreate the success he had in his first spell as Albion boss, when he steered West Brom to the Championship play-off final in his first season in charge although they were beaten by Derby County at Wembley.<\/p>\n
But a year later they won the title, having also reached the FA Cup semi-final where they lost to eventual winners Portsmouth.<\/p>\n
Relegation followed after one season in the top flight, after which Mowbray left in 2009 for Celtic Park.<\/p>\n
He had five more managerial stints, with his hometown club Middlesbrough, Coventry City, Blackburn, Sunderland and Birmingham before returning to The Hawthorns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
