Relegation-threatened West Brom have appointed former Newcastle and Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew as manager.<\/p>\n
The Baggies sacked Tony Pulis on 20 November after they went 10 Premier League games without a victory and were a point above the relegation zone.<\/p>\n
Pardew, 56, has been out of the game since being sacked by Palace in December 2016.<\/p>\n
He has signed a contract until the end of the 2019-20 season, becoming Albion’s sixth manager since 2011.<\/p>\n
“I’m thrilled with the opportunity Albion have provided and looking forward to getting to work with what I consider to be a talented group of players,” said Pardew, a former team-mate of West Brom technical director Nick Hammond.<\/p>\n
“The immediate challenge will be to get the results we need to pull ourselves up the table.<\/p>\n
“But I’m aware that while I’m joining one of the great, traditional clubs of English football, it is one determined to go forward in the Premier League.”<\/p>\n
Pardew’s first game in charge will be against Palace in the league at the Hawthorns on Saturday, 2 December (15:00 GMT).
\nAlbion then face trips to Liverpool and Swansea before a home fixture against Manchester United.<\/p>\n
John Carver, Pardew’s former assistant at Newcastle, will join the West Brom backroom staff.<\/p>\n
Assistant head coach Gary Megson, who took temporary charge following Pulis’ dismissal, has left the club.<\/p>\n
Pardew, who has also had spells at Reading, West Ham, Charlton and Southampton in an 18-year managerial career, lost the FA Cup final twice as a manager.<\/p>\n
He was named League Managers’ Association Manager of the Year in 2012after Newcastle finished fifth place in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
