Coaching trio leave West Bromwich Albion

Rob Kelly, Keith Downing and Dean Kiely all leave their coaching positions at West Bromwich Albion following the recent appointment of Tony Pulis.

West Bromwich Albion have confirmed that they have parted company with coaches Rob Kelly, Keith Downing and Dean Kiely.

The trio will all depart The Hawthorns with immediate effect having been deemed surplus to requirements by new Baggies manager Tony Pulis.

"The club would like to place on record its deep appreciation for the contribution of Keith, Rob and Dean within the coaching structure," director of football administration Richard Garlick told the club's official website.

"Keith and Dean have been here a number of years and took over first-team control in a caretaker capacity during a difficult period last season. They played a key role in stabilising the team. Rob joined at the start of the season and became a valued member of the coaching setup.

"Changes in personnel are part of football life and it is obviously sad to say farewell to three popular and respected members of staff. We wish to thank them for their efforts and wish them all the very best in their future endeavours."

Pulis is expected to finalise his backroom staff over the coming days.
