West Bromwich Albion have appointed former Newcastle boss Steve Bruce as their new manager on an 18-month deal.
Ex-Aston Villa, Hull, Sunderland and Birmingham manager Bruce left Premier League Newcastle in October, soon after their Saudi Arabia-backed takeover.
He takes charge of a Baggies side which started the Championship season well, but have since slumped to sixth place.
Bruce has extensive experience in English football's second tier, twice winning promotion to the Premier League with both Birmingham City and Hull City.
He said he did not anticipate such a quick return to management after leaving Newcastle.
