West Brom set to name Pulis as boss
Print Edition
WEST Bromwich Albion is set to name former Stoke City and Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis as its manager, British media reports said yesterday.
The 56-year-old Pulis will replace Alan Irvine who was sacked on Monday following a run of seven defeats in nine games.
The BBC reported that Pulis is likely to be confirmed today and will be in the stands at Upton Park for West Brom’s New Year’s Day Premier League visit to West Ham United.
Pulis managed Stoke from 2006-13 before joining Palace and he guided the south London club to 11th place in the top flight in his one season in charge.
The Welshman quit the job two days before the start of this season amid reports of a falling out with Palace co-chairman Steve Parish.
West Brom is 16th in the 20-team standings, a point above the drop zone.
Irvine, 56, was the second Premier League manager to be sacked this season following Neil Warnock’s dismissal by Palace on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Hull City manager Steve Bruce yesterday ruled himself out of the running to succeed Alan Pardew, who is believed to be on the verge of leaving Newcastle United.
Pardew has been given permission to speak to Palace and is reported to have said his farewells to Newcastle’s staff and players on Tuesday.
Bruce, 54, was a boyhood Newcastle fan and has previously expressed regret over rejecting a chance to manage the club in 2004, but he says that he is fully committed to Hull.
