00:07naming 34-year-old Eric Ramsey as their new head coach. Ramsey who guided Minnesota United to the
00:14MLS playoff semi-finals and his first senior managerial role brings a blend of youth and

00:48at Wigan and Everton and worked with Mark Robbins at Coventry. The club sat in its 18th position in
00:54the championship and recorded their 10th consecutive away defeat. Chairman Shilin Patel praised Ramsey's
01:00quality highlighting his intensity, organisational skills and adaptability as essential for West
01:06Brom's short and long-term goals. Eric has impressed us as a person and a coach and he's fit for our
01:12squad, Patel said, emphasising the club's determination to tackle the challenges ahead. Ramsey now faces the
01:20challenges of restoring confidence and steering West Brom clear of relegation as the championship season
