After returning to Albion back in January, Mowbray was given just 17 games in charge of the club as the Baggies slipped out of the play-off picture following a damaging Easter weekend.
The 2007/08 Championship title winning manager oversaw five wins, five draw and seven defeats during his short three months stay at The Hawthorns.
It now leaves Albion looking for their third manager in less than five months. But how does the length of his stay stack up against other Albion managers?
In terms of time spent in charge, Mowbray is only superseded in that department by one other former Baggies boss.
Aside from caretaker managers and interims, in terms of permanent managers, only Pepe Mel has taken charge of less games for Albion.
Mel, who served as Baggies boss between January 2014 and May 2014, took charge of only 17 games and picked up only three wins during his time as Albion manager.
In the club's recently history, Mowbray is quickly followed by the likes of Alan Irvine, who was given 22 games in charge and Alan Pardew, who was sacked 21 games into a disastrous run of results in the Premier League.
Sam Allardyce spent 26 games in the hotseat at Albion before leaving the club back in the summer of 2021.
Looking further back in the history books, Nobby Stiles departed the club after just 21 games in charge of Albion, while former striker Ronnie Allen's first stint in charge came to an end after 22 games.
