West Bromwich Albion have confirmed the immediate departures of senior coaches Keith Downing, Dean Kiely and Rob Kelly from the Hawthorns ahead of new boss Tony Pulis taking over. Director of football administration Richard Garlick said: "The club would like to place on record its deep appreciation for the contribution of Keith, Rob and Dean within the coaching structure.
"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 set-up.
"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."
