West Bromwich Albion have appointed a new head coach, Eric Ramsay, to replace the sacked Ryan Mason. The 34-year-old former Manchester United coach has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Championship side after leaving Minnesota United.
Ramsay's appointment comes after a dismal run of form under Mason, who was let go following a 10th consecutive away defeat. The club currently sits 18th in the table and Ramsay will look to turn their fortunes around.
The new head coach has experience working with top-tier teams, having previously worked as an assistant coach at Manchester United under Erik ten Hag. He also spent six months as an assistant coach with the Wales national team before joining Minnesota United last February.
Ramsay's tenure got off to a flying start when he became the youngest permanent head coach in MLS history, leading Minnesota United into the playoffs and setting a club-record points total in his first season. He has now been brought in at West Bromwich Albion to oversee the team's campaign in the Championship.
The 34-year-old will be assisted by Dennis Lawrence, who joins him from Minnesota having previously worked with Roberto Martinez at Wigan Athletic and Everton, before joining Mark Robins at Coventry City.
Ramsay will face a tough test as he looks to get West Bromwich Albion back on track. The club's next five fixtures include home games against Middlesbrough and Derby, as well as away trips to Portsmouth and Stoke.
