Former West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino has reacted to the club's decision to sack Tony Pulis.

Berahino took to social media to like a post from his old club announcing that Pulis's departure.

Cristian Gambo, who was sidelined by Pulis, has also liked the post.

The striker's relationship with Albion became increasingly strained ahead of his move to Premier League rivals Stoke City last January.

He was left out of the Baggies team after falling out of favour with Pulis who accused him of lacking match fitness.

It subsequently transpired that he failed a drugs test during his time at Albion.

Berahino is still waiting for his first goal for the Potters.

Pulis was sacked this morning after Albion's woeful run of form prompted a tumble down the top flight table.

They have won just two of their past 21 games and are now 17th, a point above the relegation places.

Pulis gone - we debate Albion's next move

Confirming the end of the Pulis reign today, chairman John Williams said: “These decisions are never taken lightly but always in the interests of the club.

“We are in a results business and over the back end of last season and this season to date, ours have been very disappointing.

“We would like to place on record our appreciation of Tony’s contribution and hard work during a period of transition for the club which included a change of ownership. We wish him well in his future endeavours.”

Albion have confirmed that Gary Megson, who Pulis replaced the retired Dave Kemp with in the summer, will be overseeing duties until a new manager is announced.

Albion head to Wembley for a date with Tottenham this Saturday, before a crucial trio of matches against Newcastle, Swansea and Crystal Palace.
