The club’s board made a “unanimous” decision to relieve the Italian of his duties and place him on ‘gardening leave’ after their 3-0 defeat at Manchester City, which completed a run of 13 defeats in the club’s last 18 matches.

Di Matteo’s departure – with West Brom outside the relegation zone by virtue of goal difference alone – prompted rumours that Sam Allardyce or Martin O’Neill might return to management.

However, former Newcastle manager Chris Hughton was established as the bookmakers’ early favourite. Brighton manager Gus Poyet — a former team-mate of Di Matteo’s and currently fourth in the League Managers Association’s performance table — and St Johnstone manager Derek McInnes are also understood to be in the frame.

Close friends of Di Matteo said he was irritated not to have been able to make proper reinforcements last month and in a statement released through the LMA, the 40 year-old explained that he was shocked by the club’s decision.

“I was extremely surprised and disappointed to be relieved of my duties,” he said. “Winning promotion to the Premier League with West Brom last season was without doubt one of the highlights of my career and certainly my managerial career.

“Playing in this league is tough and we have had to compete against some fantastic sides, but we have shown that we can compete with the best. Apart from the first week of the season, the club has not been in the bottom three. I am disappointed that I don’t now have the chance to lead the team through this crucial period and keep them in the league.’’

Richard Bevan, chief executive of LMA, added: “Roberto represents yet another victim of the ‘hire and fire’ mentality that pervades in our game.”

Di Matteo’s dismissal was also met with surprise by supporters, not only because West Brom have not been known as a sacking club – as chairman Jeremy Peace was at pains to point out, they have had just four managers in 11 years — but because of the relative progress made by the side. Despite their 6-0 opening-day defeat at Chelsea, the team enjoyed a strong start to the season, making a brief appearance in the top four.

Di Matteo was praised for his commitment to attacking football, yet Peace said in a statement that the board had lost confidence in his ability to pull the club out of its tailspin.

“Our poor sequence of results stretches back more than three months and there has been little sign of it coming to an end,” he said. “If this run continues much longer, achieving our goal of retaining our Premier League status will become increasingly difficult. That is why we felt compelled to act now.”

Control has temporarily been handed to first-team coach Michael Appleton but the club hope to have a new head coach installed in time for a crucial home match against West Ham this weekend, and certainly before the following Sunday’s home fixture against Wolves.

Although Allardyce, O’Neill and Martin Jol have been mentioned as possible replacements, the club have stressed that any appointee would be required to fit into the club’s “existing set-up” and work under sporting and technical director Dan Ashworth.

The cosmetic world has a myriad of applications available to enhance one's beauty. There are many reasons why people would want to enhance their beauty but primarily it is because they want to feel better about themselves. This then resulted to an endless evolution of the cosmetic products which keep on sprouting everywhere because people will never get satisfied with the results they get from one product and another.

This also goes the same with the tanning products. In the earliest cosmetic period, darkening of the skin is a big no-no. Those people who were naturally born with dark skins were not considered fabulous and one out of the lovely genre. But as old times get by, dark coloring eventually became a trend and "in" thing in the industry, which led to many seeking ways to achieve "customized" tan color.

The first thing they did was to expose themselves on the sun rays, which was aptly called as sunbathing. It produced lovely sunkissed color; but a little after there were many disadvantageous results from the practice.

And so, tanning application alternative was born in the 1960's. People were satisfied because there is no or little harm with the results. However, effect was not realistic. This inspired many others to produce the same product but focusing on a formulation that will yield better output.

In 1987, another attempted to produce its own line of tanning products, the California Tan. The attempt was another one of those successful ones but California Tan quickly became the world's top selling tanning or UV lotions brand.

California Tan has been producing wide collection of the products since then but this time innovation of the products included high-technology application. This technology does not only focus on the reliability of their products to produce natural, tan glow but develops product that will care for your skin too.

The sunless tanning trend has been developed by California Tan which allows everyone to look glowing with tan color all year round without staying under the sun. There are numerous ways on how to achieve this:
