The 39-year-old has signed a 12-month rolling contract to lead the Baggies who were relegated from the Premier League last season and who have been searching for a new manager after Tony Mowbray left for Celtic earlier this month.

Di Matteo arrives with just one year’s coaching experience under his belt after being appointed MK Dons manager last summer.
