Technical director Nick Hammond is to leave West Brom, the Premier League club have announced.
Hammond has become the latest casualty of Albion's calamitous campaign as they lurch towards relegation from the Premier League, which could be confirmed on Saturday, and prepare for life back in the Championship.
The 50-year-old's position had come under pressure following the role he played in Alan Pardew's appointment as head coach in November.
Pardew, who worked under Hammond at Reading earlier in his managerial career, won only one top flight match and was sacked last week following a club record run of eight Premier League defeats.
