West Brom have appointed Slaven Bilic as head coach on a two-year deal.
Former Croatia and West Ham manager Bilic becomes the permanent successor to Darren Moore, who was sacked by West Brom in March and replaced by caretaker manager James Shan.
Bilic was first interviewed for the role last week and impressed Albion bosses enough to move ahead of Chris Hughton, Chris Wilder and Bruno Labbadia in the running for the job.
The 50-year-old returns to management after being sacked by Saudi club Al-Ittihad in February.
"I'm delighted with this opportunity of course," said Bilic, in a statement on West Brom's website.
"We want to improve, we want to improve on the pitch and Albion have convinced me they want to return to the Premier League.
