Ben Foster has clashed with Birmingham City assistant manager Paul Trollope.
The Daily Mail says Foster's career at Birmingham City has come to a messy end after a blazing row on the club training ground car park with Chris Hughton's assistant Trollope marked another day of upheaval at St Andrew's.
The England international will move across Birmingham and join West Bromwich Albion in the next 24 hours on a season-long loan deal with a view to a permanent £4m switch next summer.
The former Wales international has only been in the job a matter of days but his attempt to bring the 28-year-old back into line backfired spectacularly -in front of a startled dressing-room.
Problems arose when Foster arrived ten minutes late to training on Monday morning.
He completed the session but was then pulled about his tardiness by the former Bristol Rovers' boss.
There was a full and frank exchange of views between the pair with Foster questioning Trollope's credentials before speeding away.
A source said: "If this was an attempt by Trollope to establish some discipline, it didn't work. Foster directly challenged his authority before getting into his car."
