West Brom have been relegated from the Premier League after Southampton beat Swansea on Tuesday to end the Baggies' eight-year stay in the top flight.
Southampton and Swansea were the only teams West Brom, in 19th, would have been able to catch prior to the game at the Liberty Stadium.
A draw would have kept the Baggies' hopes of survival alive, but Saints' 1-0 victory puts them five points clear of West Brom with only one game left to play.
Darren Moore had overseen three wins and two draws in his five games in caretaker charge of West Brom, and their relegation has now been confirmed just hours after he was named April's Premier League Manager of the Month.
He took over from Alan Pardew, who left the club bottom of the league following just one win in 17 matches in what has been a disastrous campaign at The Hawthorns on and off the pitch.
