West Brom have appointed former Manchester United assistant coach Eric Ramsay as their new head coach, bringing a wealth of experience to the St Andrew's stadium. The 34-year-old, who guided Minnesota United to the semi-finals of the Major League Soccer play-offs just months ago, joins the Baggies following a successful spell in charge at the American side.
Ramsay's managerial debut was a resounding success, with his team reaching the play-off semis in a short but impressive campaign. The appointment is also seen as a vote of confidence for the club's new ownership under chair Shilen Patel, who hailed Ramsay as "exhibit[ing] the qualities to lead and succeed" in the world's most demanding football environment.
The new head coach brings with him Dennis Lawrence, an assistant he worked alongside at Minnesota. Lawrence previously had stints with Roberto MartΓnez and Mark Robins, further underscoring the team's ambition to establish itself as a force in the Championship.
Ramsay's arrival comes just hours after his predecessor Ryan Mason was dismissed by the club following Monday night's 2-1 defeat to Leicester. Despite their struggles, West Brom will be buoyed by the appointment of a young and ambitious coach with a proven track record at the semi-professional level.
The new head coach has a reputation for instilling intensity, organisation, and adaptability in his teams, making him an attractive addition to the Baggies' coaching staff. Patel's statement that "we envision sustained success and growth" suggests a renewed sense of optimism around the club, with Ramsay tasked with leading the team into the unknown.
