Slaven Bilic was left facing the sack by West Brom last night despite a spirited 1-1 draw against Manchester City.
The Croatian praised the fight of his players after holding firm at the Etihad Stadium but is set for talks with the club's hierarchy following a shaky start to the Premier League season.
Sportsmail reported last Thursday that Bilic's job was under serious threat, with the weekend defeat by depleted Newcastle United doing nothing to dampen relegation fears.
The Baggies have won just one of their opening 13 matches back in the top flight after Bilic delivered promotion last season.
