Albion manager Sami Hyypia has quit.
The Finn has fallen on his sword with the Seagulls in the Championship relegation zone after one win in 18 games.
The timing of Hyypia's decision, following Saturday's battling 1-1 draw with ten men at Wolves, has caught the club by surprise.
Hyypia attended the Young Seagulls Christmas party at the Amex yesterday and was at the training complex in Lancing this morning.
No reason has been given for his resignation but the club are expected to release a statement later this afternoon.
