Di Matteo is the new Baggies boss
ROBERTO Di Matteo was appointed as West Brom head coach last night following a unanimous decision by the club's board.
The 39-year-old signed a 12-month rolling contract to lead the the Baggies, who were relegated from the Barclays Premier League last season and have been searching for a new manager since 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.
He enjoyed a successful first season in charge of the Coca-Cola League One club as they missed a second consecutive automatic promotion by just two points before losing to Scunthorpe in the play-offs.
West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace said in a statement last night: "I am delighted with Roberto's appointment, which concludes an intensive selection process during which over 40 names were considered."
