West Bromwich Albion have appointed former Manchester United coach Eric Ramsay as their new head coach. Ramsay, who was on Albion's radar before Mason was appointed in the summer, arrives at The Hawthorns from his first senior managerial role with Major League Soccer side Minnesota United, where he led them to back-to-back Conference play-off semi-finals. He also guided the team to their highest place league finish of fourth in the Western Conference last season. "Throughout our recruitment process, Eric consistently exhibited the qualities to lead and succeed in the world's most demanding football environment," Albion chairman Shilan Patel told the club's website. "In his time as a head coach, his teams have been characterised by intensity, organisation, and adaptability – all critical for the sustained success and growth that we envision in the short and long term."
