Chris Brunt admits it's been tough, but he can look back with satisfaction on his role as interim boss at West Bromwich Albion.
Saturday's FA Cup tie against Bournemouth is expected to be the last Albion game before a successor to Carlos Corberan is appointed at The Hawthorns.
Since stepping up alongside Damia Abella and Boaz Myhill, the Baggies have won one, drawn two and lost one.
Brunt told BBC Radio WM: "Hopefully the club will make the right appointment and I'll go back to my job and get on with it.
