Tony Pulis has been appointed head coach of West Bromwich Albion, replacing Alan Irvine who was sacked on Monday.
The 56-year-old, who has been out of work since leaving his post at Crystal Palace before the season, has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal at the Hawthorns.
'I'm absolutely delighted to accept the job and I do so with a simple but important message for the Albion fans and everyone at the club,' Pulis said.
'Every successful club is built on unity and that is what I shall strive to help bring to Albion. We need everyone together from top to bottom – the supporters, all the staff, the players, everyone who has an interest in the club's welfare.
'With that, we can go forward together and hopefully take this club up the Premier League.'
West Brom technical director Terry Burton added: 'We are delighted to secure a man of Tony's calibre and proven ability.
'He made it clear that this position excited him and that he was eager to get back into the business of winning Premier League points - and there are few who know how to do it better.'
