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 Martínez 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.

just read about Eric Ramsay getting hired as West Brom's new head coach... seems like they're trying to turn things around after that recent loss 
i mean, 34 years old is young for a manager, but he's had some pretty impressive results at Minnesota United 
their play-off semi-finals were no joke! 
and it's cool to see the new ownership giving him the nod... shilen patel seems like a smart dude 
hope ramsay can bring that same energy to st. andrews stadium and lead them to some wins

And what's with the 'young and ambitious' label? He's only 34! Can't we get someone a bit more, like, experienced? 
I'm not saying that's a bad thing or anything, but West Brom needs to win some big games if they want to establish themselves as a force in the Championship. Can they handle the pressure? 
I mean, what's up with these young coaches? 34 and they're taking over a Championship team? I get it, experience is key, but can't we wait a bit longer to see if this kid has what it takes at the top level? 
The Baggies need someone who can get the job done, not just some young hotshot with a few tricks up their sleeve. 
. He's got a lot of experience in American football (MLS) and has shown that he can lead a team to the semi-finals of the playoffs. The fact that he's brought some new energy to the club with Dennis Lawrence by his side should definitely help. Shilen Patel seems confident that Ramsay is the right man for the job, which I can respect 
w Brom's been thru some tough times lately & its good 2 see them gettin sum fresh blood. eric ramsay sounds like a top bloke, all about instilling that intensity & organisation in his teams. i reckon hes got a good shot at givin em the push they need 2 get bak 2 th chmpionship 
! Eric Ramsay seems like an amazing coach, he's already got experience at the highest level and now he's gonna bring that energy to Baggies? 
. The fact that Ryan Mason got sacked is kinda surprising, I guess you never know what's gonna happen in the football world, right? 
But Shilen Patel seems super confident about Ramsay's abilities and I gotta say, I agree with him! 
. Shilen Patel's optimism about sustained success feels genuine tho 
. Eric Ramsay seems like an awesome pick - I love how young and ambitious he is! 
. Still, you've got to give them credit for bringing in someone with experience and ambition. Maybe they'll surprise everyone, including themselves 
.
