West Brom have appointed former Newcastle and Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew as their new manager. The Baggies sacked Tony Pulis on 20 November after a run of 10 Premier League games without a victory left them a point above the relegation zone. Pardew, 56, who has been out of the game since being sacked by Palace in December 2016, has signed a deal until the end of the 2019-20 season. “I’m thrilled with the opportunity to work with a talented group,” he said.
