Steve Bruce signs deal to become West Brom manager and guide Baggies to promotion

Steve Bruce has been appointed as West Brom manager. The 61-year-old has four Championship promotions to his name. He has managed close neighbours Aston Villa and Birmingham. His last job was at Newcastle United, but he never managed to win over the fans. West Baggies are struggling in the Championship and are in fifth place. They are eight points behind second-placed Blackburn Rovers. Valerien Ismael was sacked after just seven months in charge. Bruce's CV is impressive. Some fans are concerned about his connections with rivals. But he has won promotion from the second tier on three separate occasions. Steve Bruce started his managerial career in 1998 at Sheffield United.
