Steve Bruce has been appointed West Brom’s new manager. The 61-year-old was sacked by Newcastle just three months ago but is returning to the dug-out with the Championship side.
He has penned an 18-month contract with the Baggies and replaces the axed Valerien Ismael.
Bruce said: “I am delighted to have the opportunity to manage a club that has such great history and tradition.
“It is a club I obviously know well from my time in the Midlands, and I am already relishing the challenge of taking it forward.
“I did not envisage I would return to management this quickly, but once I got the phone call from Ron [Gourlay], I knew I could not resist the challenge of getting this club back to where they want to be.
“I am coming in with one aim and that is to get Albion to the Premier League.”
