West Brom have appointed Roberto Di Matteo as their new head coach.
The 39-year-old Italian quit MK Dons to sign a 12-month rolling contract with Albion, who were relegated from the English Premier League last season.
Tony Mowbray walked out on West Brom last month to take over at Celtic.
Di Matteo had a successful playing career with Chelsea and scord in two winning FA Cup final appearances, in 1997 and 2000.
