West Bromwich Albion have appointed former Manchester United coach Eric Ramsay as their new head coach.

The 34-year-old has signed a two-and-a-half year contract to replace Ryan Mason who was sacked on Tuesday after a 10th successive away defeat left them 18th in the Championship table, seven points above the relegation zone.

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.
