Sacked West Brom boss Slaven Bilic reveals he didn't learn of his fate until being shown the headlines on the team bus back from their impressive draw at Manchester City

Slaven Bilic has revealed he wasn't aware he was set to be sacked by West Brom until being shown the headlines on the coach back from their highly-impressive draw at Manchester City.

Bilic, who has now been replaced by Sam Allardyce at West Brom, only realised reports that he was going to be sacked were more than just rumours when his assistant showed him his phone on the journey back to Birmingham.

The 52-year-old said after earning a valuable point at the Etihad that he 'did not care' about what was going on behind the scenes, a comment which was interpreted as Bilic conceding his time was up.
